I am having problems with hylafax, it seems. I have a modem on the basic /dev/modem device (a linmodem in my laptop). If I do "fax send <phone number> <filename>", which is efax I believe(?), I get a dialtone, dialout, and negotiation. My fax fails to send however. I then tried ksendfax (printing to fax) in cups. It doesn't do anything. The fax is qeued up and it says, in the blink of an eye, that the fax is being sent. It isn't. No dialtone heard, no dialing, no negotiation. I tried it with ksendfax setup for hylafax and for efax. Neither works. Here's the output in /var/log/messages wrt my latest hylafax attempt via ksendfax: Aug 13 08:00:51 lapdog FaxSend[7623]: MODEM LT V.90 DATA+FAX MODEM VERSION 6.00 LT V.90 Data+Fax Modem Version 6.00/ Aug 13 08:00:52 lapdog FaxSend[7623]: HylaFAX (tm) Version 4.1 Aug 13 08:00:52 lapdog FaxSend[7623]: SEND FAX: JOB 3 DEST 4962915 COMMID 00000003 Aug 13 08:00:52 lapdog FaxSend[7623]: DEVICE '/dev/modem' Aug 13 08:00:54 lapdog FaxQueuer[7626]: Missing ':' separator in modem group specification Aug 13 08:00:54 lapdog FaxQueuer[7626]: HylaFAX (tm) Version 4.1 Aug 13 08:00:54 lapdog FaxQueuer[7626]: Copyright (c) 1990-1996 Sam Leffler Aug 13 08:00:54 lapdog FaxQueuer[7626]: Copyright (c) 1991-1996 Silicon Graphics, Inc.
