From: Brett Wuth <wuth@castrov.cuug.ab.ca> Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2001 04:18:27 -0600 (MDT) Subject: hylafax-server: need doc on how to configure with mgetty

[...]

In order to have faxgetty accept data calls it must be configured to work with another program (likely mgetty). Unfortunately the documentation isn't explicit on what needs to be done for mgetty. I had to get out the source code of mgetty to figure out these options. The documentation should make note of the following options required:

------- in /etc/hylafax/config.ttyS1:

ModemSetupAACmd: AT+FAA=1
AdaptiveAnswer: yes

#mgetty:
# -x 9 : full debugging to /var/log/mgetty/mg_ttyS1.log # -r : direct line -- don't initialize modem # -b : non-blocking -- don't wait for ^M before prompting # -s %s: set speed
# %l : set device
GettyArgs: "-r -b -s %s %l"

------- in /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config:
# modem controlled by faxgetty
port ttyS1

# already accepted data call, do not reset toggle-dtr n

Perhaps this bug should be logged against mgetty, but it's faxgetty that requires these options to be set up.

Perhaps more than just documenting the solution, the hylafax installation script should set up the configuration automatically.

These options have been tested with the following modem: ati3
U.S. Robotics 56K Voice INT V4.7.35
OK
