Avantfax on Archlinux - Sent Faxes Don't Show in Archive?

All,

  I need help. I have hylafax/avantfax install that I have had since 2009. I
have recently move the install to a new machine running Archlinux. Avantfax
3.3.5 will not work with php 7, so I've downgraded to php 5.6. The install was a
simple manual install. Configure hylafax, unpack the avantfax tgz, move the
'avantfax' folder to my server root, rsync the existing 'avantfax/faxes' and
'avantfax/tmp' folders, go through the manual install and upgrade procedures at

http://www.avantfax.com/install.php
http://www.avantfax.com/upgrading.php

  Then a quick trip though 'includes/local_config.php' and confirm the hylafax
etc/hosts.hfaxd, config and config.ttyS0 and we are done.

  (a side note, since the old machine's modem was on ttyS1, the new serial port
config caused me to lose the entire inbox, but adding a modem via the
admin/Modems config in avantfax caused the inbox to reappear. I suspect I can
run an update query on the mysql tables and change ttyS1 to ttyS0 out to allow
me to get rid of the dummy modem)

  The problem I have is that when I send a fax, there is nothing shown in the
archive. All the mysql accounts and passwords work fine, the inbox displays
find, the Log displays fine, all users, etc are fine, I can update modify the
tables through the admin interface fine, but no matter what I do, when I send a
fax, there is no record in the archive of any fax at all -- huh?

  If it matters, the modem is an external MODEM USR USRobotics Courier
V.Everything, and then only reason I think that's important is the looking at a
diff of the class 1/class 2.0 configs created by faxaddmodem I find:

-## AvantFAX configuration
+# Disables the reporting of bad frames by the modem.  This
+# overcomes a firmware problem in the x2 and V90 Sportsters.
+# It is not necessary for the Courier modem.
 #
-FaxrcvdCmd:     bin/faxrcvd.php
-DynamicConfig:  bin/dynconf.php
-UseJobTSI:      true
-

  I can confirm it made no difference as I sent faxes with both a class 1 and
class 2.0 config and had the same behavior with no faxes in the archive. The
class 2.0 setup greatly improved the send fax communication. With the class 1
config, I would get regular SEND FAILED errors, e.g.:

SEND FAILED: JOB 11 DEST 7159339 ERR [125] COMREC invalid command received/no
DIS or DTC

which were hit or miss, but sometimes would cause the fax to fail all 3 times it
was queued. No issue with the class 2.0 config.

  So all this leaves me baffled as to why the faxes are not recorded in the
database or shown in the archive? Checking the avantfax.FaxArchive table, there
are no faxes at all shown for the new machine. the only faxes are before the
move where the

$ mysql -u avantfax -p -Bse "select faxnumid, pages, archstamp, modemdev from
avantfax.FaxArchive order by archstamp asc;"
Enter password:
<snip>
24      1       2016-09-08 12:48:56     ttyS1
24      1       2016-09-09 04:31:33     ttyS1

  None of the 10 faxes sent today are shown. What should I check to figure out
why the faxes are not winding up in the inbox? Here is a listing of the
hylafax.etc directory:

  Let me know if there is any additional information or tests I can run to help
out. I'm happy to fetch whatever info may shed light on this problem. Thanks.
