Here is a short report on installing hylafax (from unstable) on a Debian "testing" system akak. Woody. It's running a 2.2.19 kernel and has two not so recent faxmodems connected (Zoom 14k4 internal and a USR 33k6 external). The hylafax package was in fact grabbed from the Debian unstable dist. Here are the steps I needed to take to get a running system (that is apart from the usual: faxsetup, faxaddmodem, faxmodem setup-commands and the editing of /etc/inittab).
Eventhough sending works fine the old libtiff compatibility problem still seems to be lurking around (could it be?). Either that or there is some other explanation for the fact that I (still) get those ultra short cut-off pages :( I tried a recompile of the most recent libtiff and hylafax code. This yielded no improvement. Hope this is useful. Here's the transcript of some of my actions,... regards, Jan xs4us:~# cd /var/spool/fax/dev xs4us:/var/spool/fax/dev# chown uucp:uucp * Connected to localhost.
