Hylafax Fax server setup


The following was done on my system with success using SuSE 10.2 and a generic 56k modem.
1. Test you modem by dialing with the dialer tool thing on your task bar. Try ring your cell phone or something. (That is after configuring your modem in YaST). Atleast you will know that it is not your modem that is faulty when Hylafax doesn’t work
2. Install Hylafax and mgetty

3. Run “faxsetup” from the shell. Use all of the defaults you can.

4. Run “faxaddmodem” from the shell. Type in your com port when required to do so (ttyS0 is com 1) Use all of the defaults you can.

5. Add a user to Hylafax by typing the following in the shell “faxadduser password 10 username” (substitute “password” for your own password and “username” for your own username. “10″ is the UID which should be the same as the system user “uucp”)

6. Make sure that Hylafax is set to run on level 2345 in the “run level” editor

7. Vi to the /etc/inittab and make sure that the “#” is taken out of the following line:

mo:2345:respawn:/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty ttyS0

Make sure that the path is correct and the run levels are set to 2345. Also, if you used /dev/ttyS0 in the “faxaddmodem” you use it here as well – other wise just say “ttyS0″ as above

8. Vi the /var/spool/fax/etc/config.ttyS0 file (or whatever your port is ttyS0 is com1) and change the following:

RecvFileMode: 0644

DeviceMode: 0666

9. If you are using a US Robotics (3Com) modem add the following to the /var/spool/fax/etc/config.ttyS0 file as well


ModemATCmdDelay: 100

10. And that is that! Restart Hylafax and make sure faxgetty is running. (Look in the run level editor under YaST, or Command prompt = rchylafax status)
