Hylafax probs
I've just installed Hylafax under potato. When I've launched faxsetup the program has complained about the absence of the courier definition under /usr/share/enscript/afm, while there are many afm files under that directory. I've tried to add the line FontDir: /usr/share/enscript/afm and now faxsetup is complaining that the program etc/hylafax/vgetty-link is missing, which is true! How can I fix the problems and where can I find that vgetty-link file? Ciao Vittorio
Hylafax fax user
After having read all the documentation and a detailed, long article in a linux magazine, I've installed hylafax server client under potato. If I launch faxsetup it simply tells, among other non-essential things,that not an fuser (fax user ???) is defined and exits regularly. Using sendfax -d -n # file I'm presented with a password: which I haven't been able to set up. So the first problem is there! How can I set up an hylafax user password?

No idea if it's really needed by faxsetup, or why. Using sendfax -d -n # file I'm presented with a password: which I haven't been able to set up. So the first problem is there! How can I set up an hylafax user password? That doesn't sound right at all. I don't remember having to do such a thing. Try http://www.hylafax.org. There's a mailing list as well, which is quite helpful: http://www.hylafax.org/mailing-lists.html Hope that helps a little. Hylafax is not completely trivial to set up, but it shouldn't be *too* bad.

You should go to www.hylafax.org for more information. There's also a Hylafax mailing list that's useful. Windows clients? WHFC is the most commonly used one: makes hylafax look like a Windows printer, among other things. Check out 'respond' as well, which takes a completely different approach. And I know there are Java client(s) in the works. It's all linked to from the web page.

need faxmail for efax--any conflict w/hylafax-client?
I'm in the final stages of getting efax set up on my server to answer the phone and email received faxes to me on my main machine. I see that faxmail is used to do this, but that is available only in the hylafax-client .deb. Would DL'ing that write over anything or otherwise interfere with efax?? TIA, Kenward -- Hi!

Hylafax para recibir faxes
Hola a todos... Necesito ayuda para configurar el hylafax para recibir faxes usando un modem zoltrix de norma dual 56kflex y v90 de esos transparentes. Para enviar ya lo tengo, pero para recibir hace cosas rarillas, se corta cuando empieza a recibir, no descuelga y cosas asi. Saludos. P.S. En algun sitio lei que habia algunos modems-fax, no tenian el codigo de fax en la rom porque necesitaba sitio el fabricante para meter el codigo de voice-fax, pero no creo que sea el caso.
HylaFax y FIFO (donde estara mi FIFO?)
Hola a todos... Estoy tratando de poner a punto un servidor de fax para llamadas entrantes (para llamadas salientes ya esta), y lo estoy haciendo usando HylaFax. Segun la documentacion, el programa faxgetty, que monitorea el modem, necesita de un FIFO en /var/spool/fax, que de hecho existio alli, pero ahora sin saber debido a que, ya no esta y no se como restituirlo. Relacionado con esto, tambien necesito el mgetty para poder conectar con el Linux desde casa, y actualmente lo tengo lanzado desde el inittab. He pensado, y no se si sera factible, y hacer la invocacion desde el config.ttyS0 de HylaFax, y quitarlo del inittab, porque segun entiendo de la documentacion, cuando la llamada es de datos (no de fax), se invoca a getty o al mgetty. Saludos.
SOLUCIONADO: faxrcvd de Hylafax para enviar faxes como PDF, PNG, JPG...
Hola,
Pues nada que me estoy peleando con el hylafax y he tenido que modificar
el script que se ejecuta al recibir los faxes para poder imprimir directamente
los faxes que llegan (esta comentado) y para enviar por mail el fax como
adjunto PDF, TIFF, PNG, y JPEG ademas del PS que ya enviaba...
Os lo pongo adjunto.
Un ejemplo de tamaño según formato:
# TIFF - 26 KBytes
# PNG - 21 KBytes
# PDF - 55 KBytes
JPEG
# jpeg pierde información al comprimir, con -quality 75 queda bien
# y no se ahorra mucho espacio reduciendo la calidad, ejemplos:
# 75172 KBytes se ve bien
# 50142 KBytes puntitos alrededor del texto
# 25115 KBytes nuve alrededor del texto
# 0 63 KBytes inhumano :-)
El PNG se ve perfecto, y es el formato que mas comprime, pero hay problemas
al imprimir con algunos navegadores
¿Que opinais?
Por cierto ¿usais hylafax? ¿con que modem (marca/modelo)? ¿te va bien?
Lo cierto es que configurarlo es un infierno llevo una semana y aun no he
acabado, menos mal que los retos me ponen :-)
Que aproveche ;-)
Saludos,

Hola a todos... He conseguido hacer funcionar el sendmail para enviar faxes, los ficheros de configuracion deben tener un error, al menos los de potato, porque cuando se recompone el sendmail.cf, el mailer de fax queda /usr/local/bin/faxmail, que es incorrecto, deberia ser /usr/bin/faxmail.

What's going on with hylafax in potato?
I just checked the most recent upgrade in potato and all of the hylafax programs are now in obsolete/local except tkhylafax whice I think requires those others but dselect does not say so.

hylafax passwd?
Hi I installed hylafax on my slink 2.1r4 machine the other day. After running the setup scripts faxsetup(i think it was called so) and faxaddmodem the daemons faxq and hfaxd can be started and are so at boottime. I also included my user in the fax group (it was already earlier in the dialout group). The problem is that when I try to check the status I'm asked for a password, and dito when I try to send a fax with sendfax. If I try my own password it is a failed login altough I checked with the flag for verbose it is my user trying to log into the hfaxd. Hints? Anders
hylafax ...
Hi Bob, I just read your complain about the libtiff-problem in hylafax-server. I've got the same problem and no solution to it. I've been using an very old build on my system which worked fine but after upgrading to the recent potatoe the system hangs. :-( ... I wonder if the problem is just a tiff problem, because the inter process-commulincation and the logging looks strange too: - I'm not able to log the modem communication on an incoming fax-connection even with all flags on ServerTracing and SessionTracing enabled. The Log on Fax-Modem-initialsation looks fine (a lot of ATxxx's and OK's) but once Did you find out anything ? Bye Andy -- Airconditioned environment - Don't openwindows
hylafax not compatible with new libtiff3g
libtiff3g version 3.5.2.4 in potato does not seem to be compatible with
hylafax-server. I get the following errors:
Starting HylaFAX daemons: faxq/usr/sbin/faxq: Symbol IFFFaxBlackTable'
has different size in shared object, consider re-linking
/usr/sbin/faxq: Symbol IFFFaxMainTable' has different size in shared
object, consider re-linking
/usr/sbin/faxq: Symbol IFFFaxWhiteTable' has different size in shared
object, consider re-linking hfaxd.
Thinking that maybe hylafax had been compiled with a different,
incompatible version, I downloaded the hylafax 4.02 debian source and
tried to build my own package. This gave the following message:
Checking TIFF support.
Incompatible/missing TIFF Library.
Compilation or execution of the following test program failed:
--
#include tiffio.h
main()
{
if (TIFFLIB_VERSION 19960307) { /* check include file version
*/
printf(old include files: version %u\n, TIFFLIB_VERSION);
exit(-1);
}
if (strncmp(TIFFGetVersion(), LIBTIFF, Version 3.4, 20) != 0) {
printf(old library: version %s\n, TIFFGetVersion());
exit(-1);
} else
exit(0);
}
--
With:
TIFFINC=/usr/include
LIBTIFF=-ltiff
The above program checks the version of the TIFF library to ensure it
is suitable for use with HylaFAX. HylaFAX v4.0pl2 requires a recent
TIFF software distribution; one distributed March 7, 1996 or later. If
you do not have up to date TIFF software on your system then you can
retrieve it from the location where you obtained this software.
Otherwise, if you have the right software, verify that you have the
TIFFINC and LIBTIFF configuration parameters set correctly for your
system (see above) and that any environment variables are setup that
are needed to locate a libtiff DSO at runtime (e.g. LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
Also be sure that any relative pathnames are made relative to the top
of the build area.
Unrecoverable error! Once you've corrected the problem rerun this
script.
/bin/sh: line 2: 9038 Broken pipe yes
9039 Done(1) | CXX=c++ ./configure
make: *** [debian/build-stamp] Error 1
This error message implies that a newer version of TIFF is required,
however the latest version at ftp://ftp.sgi.com/graphics/tiff/ is
tiff-v3.4beta037, while the current version of libtiff3g is 3.5.2.4.
Is version 3.5.2.4 incompatible with hylafax? If it doesn't come from
SGI, what is the source?
I tried building the tiff packages from unstable/main/source, but there
were errors which didn't make any sense to me (something about trying
to build with libc5 - )
Has anyone been able to successfully use the current version of
hylafax-server?

error when installing Hylafax for potato
I installed Hylafax on Potato but I got this error: === The file: /etc/hylafax/vgetty-link does not exist or this file is not an executable program. The HylaFAX software optionally uses this program and the fact that it does not exist on the system is not a fatal error. If the program resides in a different location and you do not want to install a symbolic link for /etc/hylafax/vgetty-link that points to your program then you must reconfigure and rebuild HylaFAX from source code. Modem support functions written to /var/spool/fax/etc/setup.modem. Configuration parameters written to /var/spool/fax/etc/setup.cache. Anyone know what I should do now?

It looks for the font metric cob.afm in /usr/share/enscript, whereas this is actually located in /usr/share/enscript/afm. I created a symbolic link which fixed the problem: ln -s /usr/share/enscript/afm/cob.afm /usr/share/enscript/cob.afm Later I looked at all the config files and I expect that changing the AFMDIR line in /etc/hylafax/spool.fax would be the correct solution.

Re: Hylafax problems
Hmmm, my system doesn't have either faxrunq or faxspool and hylafax works just fine. There is a faxq which must be running and this is started at boot time by /etc/init.d/hylafax, which is symlinked to /etc/rc*.d/S20hylafax. This also starts hfaxd.

You will need to configure things by running faxsetup and faxaddmodem--follow the prompts.

Well, Drudging through the mailing list archive, I came across this little reference to the following: http://www.elgro.demon.co.uk/resources.html, which is a cool set of hylafax resources. Well, lo and behold, that had a reference to http://www.trump.net.au/~rjc/hylafax/usr.html, which is a page for US Robotics users for Hylafax That page had the solution I needed. I include it here for the edification of people. (I spen months procrastinating getting my fax stuff fixed, and then an frustrating week digging this out; I was at the point of throwing my modem out of the window and buying a new, supported modem). Can we have it included in the Debian Hylafax package? Or at least the pointers to the two URLs mentioned here? This information was too hard to find. manoj http://www.trump.net.au/~rjc/hylafax/usr.html __ The USR Hylafax Page This page is dedicated to the problems getting the USR modems particularly the Sportster to work with Hylafax. The Problem For USR modems in particular look for a high rate of the dreaded Unspecified Transmit Phase B Error Quite often it is accompanied by But the modem faxes fine under Windows... Whats a Phase B Error? Heres a quote from Sam Leffler the principal author of Hylafax Phase B is point in the fax protocol where the sender+receiver first exchange digital information (e.g. each other's capabilities). Since the error code is uninformative the real reason for the failure is anyone's guess. If the problem is repeatable then you've probably got a firmware problem.

Look particularly at the number of Transmit Phase B errors. Which modems are affected? Transmit phase B errors seem to occur to some extent in all USR modems, this is not always USR's fault. Quite often if your connecting to another (cheap)fax modem or a line with multiple devices on it(ie answering machine) or you have a bad line a Phase B error can easily occur. If you suspect your modem is faulty make sure beforehand you try sending faxes to a variety of machines and on different phone lines to ensure its the modem at fault not external conditions. OK, now thats clear... It seems that in late 1995 through 1996 US Robotics shipped a whole bunch of Sportsters modems with faulty firmware. If the modem is setup with hardware flow control in fax class 2.0 it becomes extremely difficult to send facsimiles without Transmit Phase B errors.

status of hylafax?
Hi, I remember someone was working on a hylafax pkg for debian... What's the status? AFAIK no distributions for linux have a hylafax pkg... (does redhat?) but freebsd does have one...

Hylafax question
Can one receive a fax manually using hylafax? Say for instance I receive a voice call with a request for my fax facilities, can I activiate hylafax to give a fax tone and receive the fax coming in?

Its in the debian manual under diversion. If you use debmake then it will
do it for you.
BTW I have split up mgetty. You can simply conflict with mgetty-fax now.

You mentioned that one of your hylafax packages conflicts with mgetty - are you working on fixing that? mgetty is THE getty to use - i wouldn't consider using anything else (unless i needed a hacked getty to do something special...hacking agetty is a lot easier than hacking mgetty because it's much smaller) hylafax sounds like it's THE fax program to use. I'd really like to be able to use it, but not if the price was losing mgetty. surely there's some way of making them work together... probably the simplest (but not necessarily the best) solution would be for there to be two mgetty packages - one with sendfax which conflicts with hylafax, and one without which suggests hylafax...would have to be co-ordinated with the mgetty maintainer Christoph Lameter [EMAIL PROTECTED] another similar option would be to split mgetty into two packages, 'mgetty' and 'sendfax'. mgetty could Suggest: sendfax | hylafax yet another option would be to use the 'update-alternatives' script to resolve the conflict...i think you said that it was only one program called sendfax which conflicted. which brings up the quick hack option - rename hylafax's 'sendfax' to 'sendhylafax' or something and make sure the rest of the hylafax suite knows about the change (including the man pages!)

Re: Hylafax packages?
It would probably be good to split mgetty into mgetty mgetty-fax mgetty-voice mgetty-doc That does not solve the problem with accepting incoming faxes though. Although hylaxfax does have something to offer in this regard. I have no idea how to integrate that. I have no experience with multi-binary packages. If someone else wants to do it then tell me. Otherwise I have to make debmake multi-binary aware. On Tue, 5 Nov 1996, Craig Sanders wrote: cas That was myself.

Can you send me a summary of your experiences so I can improve my package? Sure, I like debmake :-) For hylafax I need to create 2 packages, hylafax-server and hylafax-client. In your example rules file I've changed the line make install PREFIX=debian/tmp to make install SERVERPREFIX=debian/server CLIENTPREFIX=debian/client and edited the Makefile(s) appropriately. Then later I do dpkg-gencontrol -phylafax-server -Pdebian/server and the same method for the client package. No big problems (the control file has separate sections for hylafax-server and hylafax-client).

Re: Hylafax packages?
Ok. I will put the fax related files in a separate package mgetty-fax (and the voice part in mgetty-voice). Thus hylafax should conflict with mgetty-fax .
