Re: hylafax on CentOS 7

Thank you.  Config file did not make a difference and here is the output of
probemodem. Also realized that faxgetty is not starting.

Also tried Hylafax+ -



# systemctl status hylafax-faxgetty@ttyUSB0 -l > faxgetty.txt

# cat faxgetty.txt

● [email protected] - faxgetty on /dev/ttyUSB0

   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected];

   Active: activating (auto-restart) since Fri 2017-11-17 06:03:47 EST; 17s

     Docs: man:faxgetty(8)

  Process: 6415 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyUSB0 (code=exited,
status=255)

I have installed hylafax numerous times and I can’t get it to work due to a
wedge modem. Basically I can send one fax and then wedged forever.



I installed the following:



hylafax-server-6.0.6-1rhel7.x86_64.rpm

hylafax-client-6.0.6-1rhel7.x86_64.rpm



Running centos 7 with 3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64

Modem is USR 5686G



I’ve seen mention of hylafax+…Is that what I need. Help and TIA.

The differences between what you're using and HylaFAX+ will probably not
resolve your problem directly.

Chances are that your USR modem is exhibiting some problem due to a
misconfiguration.  USR modems are a bit quirky and can require unique
configurations.

The 5686G model number seems to be a new one for us, and maybe you ended up
with a bad modem config file.  Probably what you want is something close to
this:

https://sourceforge.net/p/hylafax/HylaFAX+/HEAD/tree/trunk/config/usr-xon

However, if that doesn't work for you please post the output of 'probemodem'
against your modem.

If you really want to try HylaFAX+ then you can get it from EPEL:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

After EPEL is enabled then you'd 'yum install hylafax+'.

But, again, I don't think that you should look to that as a resolution for
the problem you're having.

Thanks,

Lee.
