This would be a large amount of progamming also in the chap protocol there
is the concept of periodic rechecking of the peers password(sent as a hash
across the line) while the connection is running
ie  need to re-program the getty to do lcp(quite hard ~10 weeks)
 & introduce into slirp an lcp layer (even harder ~ 6 months)
_OR_ setup pppd (about 1/2 hour)

No not quite - chap can use the system login databases(shadow,
nis,/etc/passwd whatever) or alternatively if you dont want to give your
ppp users login priveleges the passwords can be stored encrypted in a
special file read only by root

That doesn't matter.  The shell script is reading from a different file
descriptor, open to the script, not from standard in, and is non-interactive,
so killable with control-C.

In any case, I'm pretty sure that pppd can be used without a wrapper.

Does HP-UX have kernel support for #!.  Lack of that is the only thing I can
think of which would cause a problem at the moment.  However, it is possible
that there is a subtlety that I've missed.

Subject: Receiving fax at the good scale
Sender: owner-flexfax@celestial.com

Hello everybody,

I have installed HylaFAX 4.0 pl1, on AIX 4.1 (Risc 6000), whith a USR
Courier.
The faxgetty process is running, so I am able to receive faxes.

They are stored in a public directory, which is acessible via Intranet
so the employees
can read the inbound faxes.

I will make a small script will translate the tiff fax in gif fax, but
my problem is to determinate
in hylafax the script who write fax0000X.tif on the spool. So:

1) 1rst question: where is the script who get the inbound fax, convert
it in tiff, and spool it on the recvq

The other problem is that the tiff files are "squashed" in a bad scale,
and I would modify a param
somewhere in order to view my inbounded faxes at a correct size. So:

2) 2nd question: where is the param to modify to have a good scale for
the inbounded faxes?


Many thanks in advance to those of you, that will take the time to
answer my questions or help me.


   Alex

PS: Sorry for my bad english.

I can't think of any good reason why faxgetty wouldn't write these files
directly, as they are just a TIFF header on the raw fax data.  That might
be why you can't find a script.  (TIFF isn't really a format for graphics,
its really a format for describing graphics file contents.  It includes
options for palletised, LZW encoding (similar to GIF), for Group 3
fax encoding, and even raw bitmaps (Windows .BMP like).)

Set the sending fax machine to fine mode?  Normal faxes are 100 x 200 
dots per inch.  I hope the TIFF headers include this information.  I've
only ever tried to convert to PS and PS allows for rescaling.  My guess
is you need to tell the TIFF to GIF convertor to stretch the image by
duplicating pixels in one dimension.  You may have to do TIFF to PBM --
stretch -- PBM to GIF.

Howdy,


I'd like to use different tag lines for each of my outgoing faxes and
therefore tried both, the TagLine flag in the ~/.hylarc file and as shown
below the -F flag of sendfax.

    sendfax -F "TEST" -n -d 067329411333 test.ps

Unfortunately this always results in the folowing error message (idependent
of the user from which I try to send my fax):

    503 Permission denied: no write access to job parameter USETAGLINE.


Is there anything I could do about that problem?

	How can I configure my Hylafax software to provide loopback testing?

	I am experimenting with various invokation scripts that setup the To;
	etc paramters, and I don;t have a physically close fax machine to send
	to. What I would like to do is have the documents prepared and handed
	to the reciever from the transmiter. I know the physical (modem) link
	works, so i just want to be able to fully prepare the faxes, and loop
	them back to the reciever.

	Is there a way to d this?

	Thanks.

Subject: flexfax: /etc/getty hanging on SCO 5.0.4
Reply-To: bill@celestial.com
Sender: owner-flexfax@celestial.com

I have been having some problems running hylafax-v4.0pl1 on an SCO 5.0.4
system in which the /etc/getty process hangs after incoming data calls.  It
appears to be ignoring the -t60 argument which, as I understand it, is
supposed to cause /etc/getty to terminate if there isn't any modem activity
for 60 seconds.  I built HylaFax using Robert Libe's current version of gcc
on a system with the full SCO devsys installed first.

There are two MultiTech modems, a MT2834ZDX, and a MT2834ZDXB, running on
HI-IRQ COM3 and COM4 ports.  GettyArgs = "-t60 /dev/%l dx_%s" (it took me a
while to figure out that it required the /dev/%l).

The problem is that the system will run for a while normally, then
something will happen and the /etc/getty process will never die until it's
killed manually.  /usr/local/sbin/faxgetty is running out of /etc/inittab,
and it seems to help if I kill the faxgetty process to let it respawn (but
this may be my imagination).

Is there a known problem with the SCO /etc/getty in that it doesn't
actually exit after the time specified in the -t option?  Are there
other things I should be looking at?

Slirp lets you include traffic routed by the calling host as well, and
doesn't take any setup on the called machine.  It doesn't even need
to know the remote addresses ahead of time.

Slirp only handles inbound calls, so it's obvious use is to add
dialin capability to any machine that already has some network
connection. Like most office machines with dedicated internet
connections, or even just the local office network.

Most places with dedicated internet connections don't have enough
addresses to spare to route to any LAN that might want to connect.
I've been turned down by two large providers when I asked for enough
to let a lot of other remote offices connect the 'right' way. Of course
they could have come up with addresses if I had been talking about
connecting them though leased lines to those providers... 

Slirp packets appear to come from the called host and since it is started
at shell level it can only be run by someone who has the capability
of using the native network programs on that machine.   My only complaint
is that the shell login, slirp start-up sequence requires either
manual intervention (i.e. a tty window at startup of the Win95 dialer)
or the scripted equivalent. It seems like there should be a way to
emulate that via PAP against the passwd file so standard PPP dialer
routines would work.

I thought Kevin Mitnick demonstrated pretty clearly that keeping anything

Actually it is the threat you don't forsee that gets you.  But in this
case I would like to continue to allow shell logins via cleartext
passwords, so I don't see any increased threat by simultaneously
allowing PAP against the password file, but there might be one
from the additional file needed to allow CHAP.

didn't get any error here but moved the directory to a place with more space
than /var/spool  -- unfortunately with no result :-((


of course the

     sendfax -n -d 067329411333 test.ps

command works fine all the time so that I think the problem must be
specific to the -F option.
Could there be some sort restriction to this option that first has to be
disabled?

Sorry, there was a problem sending notification;
something went wrong in the shell script bin/notify.

#### end email 

Everything including the email gateway works .. the fax gets through .. the notify
script doesnt run properly ... permissions problem mayybe?

Also, i keep getting various errors sending .ps files ... ghostscript complaining
about not enuf memory for job (looked at FAQ .. removed VM tag) .. then got some
other error about language level 2 error...

So .. if anyone wants to give me a url of a .ps file that definately is the right
language level .. no Vm errors and whatever .. i'll try and run that through the 
server =)

Any help would be appreciated ...

Slirp also does not require root installation on the server, merely
shell access to compile and install a local copy.

tiac.net permits its shell users to use SLIRP for network access, to
provide browsers, etc. But they have stated that they will become most
upset if someone resells bandwidth, for which I would not blame them
a bit.

Have I mentioned that I like tiac.net?

One of my users is attempting to send a fax which fails
with:

08/04/97 14:39 SEND 00000429 cua_b 226 ""
S.Bennett@ftel.co.uk "01705755020" "01705 827707" 33030 1
1:06 0:47 "Modem does not support document page width, max
page width 2432 pixels, image width 1687 pixels"

I saw a similar problem when I was sorting out our header
page, whose original was done with framemaker.  I got the
impression that the width (and height) had to be multiples
of some number of pixels, and I fixed it for the coversheet
by scaling the postscript until the width dropped out at a
suitable number.

Any thoughts?

I use the following on my 5.0.2 and 3.2.4.2 machines.

There is a problem with getty on 5.0.4. Comment out any entries in
/usr/lib/uucp/Devices for that modem line and see if it works any better.

Hello to all,

the Java-based client for HylaFAX SuSEFax is now available at

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/5.0/suse/n1

If you get the file susefax.rpm, you need the jdk1.1.1
(ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/5.0/suse/d1/java.rpm)

If you don't want to install the jdk, you may download the package
suserunt.rpm that includes the Java Runtime Environment.

It is recommended that you install the latest version of the tiff-library
that is also needed by HylaFAX
(ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/5.0/suse/gra1/tiff.rpm)

If you want to view incoming Faxes, you have to install either ghostscript
or gv.

Documentation currently only available in german language...

Subject: HylaFAX password problem
Sender: owner-flexfax@celestial.com

We are attempting to install HylaFAX on our server; and have encountered
a problem. Our machine has shadow
passwords enabled. When we try to send a fax with the following syntax:

       sendfax -E -n -h /dev/cua1@dorian:4559 -d 15065360228
/home/csi/ssteeves/tocspice3f3.ps

we are prompted for a password; unfortunately we cannot figure what the
password is or why it is prompting for
one.

In your faq we have read about a problem in which we think is similar.

                   Q104: Problem accessing fax services by clients?

We are unsure if this is our solution or not.

The response said that HylaFAX actually consults etc/hosts (in
/var/spool/fax) for security purposes. We are not
very clear on how the etc/hosts (in /var/spool/fax) is supposed to be
setup. This is what we now have in that file:

                                           localhost
                                           127.0.0.1

It would be greatly appreciated if you could inform us of any additional
information this file should contain, syntax
about this file, or any information that will help to solve our password
problem.

Thank you

If you're sending the fax from the local (HylaFAX server) machine you do
NOT need the "-h ..." stuff. It's only needed if you're on a client machine.

Hi,
we run hfaxd on a sun with SUNOS 4.1.4 and everything seems to work
fine.
But when we tried to run whfc on Windows NT 4.0 we got the following
error messages :
"Aug  8 08:45:18 sun2 HylaFAX[695]: <--- 500 '': Syntax error, expecting
command
token."
Same happens when trying  telnet to port 4559. This happens only with
telnet
on Windows NT. Telnet on Linux or SUN works without problem.

Has anyone else experienced this problem too ?

 It happens specially when using M$-Word, and seems to happen more often

 I guess it's something about the printer configuration in Windows, but I

Hi,

this is a bug in whfc. I don't know how to fix it, because we haven't
got sun stations here. I think it's a network byte-ordering problem.

Hi,

this is, because the WM_SPOOLERMESSAGE works unreliable on windows 95.
Just searching for a replacement, but currently i have not found one.

We have tried the above mentioned suggestions, and have found no releaf
from our problems.

Here is our current situation.  The HylaFAX software is installed on our
server, DORIAN, with shadow passwords.  We are using another office
computer to TELNET into dorian, and this is where we are typing the
following command:

        sendfax -n -E  -d 5360228 /home/csi/ssteeves/tocspice3f3.ps

With this command, we get this message:

        request id is 26 (group id 26) for host localhost (1 file)

Also, for this message, we had our host file looking like this:

        localhost
        127.0.0.1
        dorian@cybersmith.net:1000::

Nothing else happened.


We then put this in our host file:

        localhost
        127.0.0.1
        198.164.20.20

and we get the same error.

We are under the assumption though, that we have to tell which modem we
want the server to use.  To do this, we set
up our FAXSERVER enviromental variable like this:

FAXSERVER=/dev/cua1@dorian:4559; export FAXSERVER

Now, when we run the above mentioned  sendfax  line, we get this error
message

        460 Failed to submit job 28: Unspecified reason (scheduler NAK'd
request).

If we leave our hosts file like it was originally

        localhost
        127.0.0.1

then we are prompted for a password, which we have NO idea what to
enter.

We would greatly appreciate any help in which you can give to us.
Thank you for your time.

This is good.  This is what it should say.  Check the status of the fax queue
with the faxstat command (man 1 faxstat).

You might want to put somthing like:
.*@dorian\.cybersmith\.net
.*\.cybersmith\.net$

You just need the modem of you have multiple modems configured, and only
want to use a certain modem or set of modems.  You can either specify
which modem from the sendfax command directoy with -hmodem@host or with
the FAXSERVER variable.

example:  FAXSERVER=cua1@localhost; exportFAXSERVER

Because of the "/dev/" on the front of the modemclass

Because you are sending it to dorian (from FAXSERVER variable), which isn't
in the etc/hosts file.

Subject: Ascii printer to fax filter
Sender: owner-flexfax@celestial.com


 Hi, I have HylaFax working quite good under some Win95 clients, but now I
have to make something "a bit" more difficult. Suggestions/Comments
welcome:

  
 The economy departament in our company uses a program (via telnet) made
in Cobol in a Sun Ultrasparc. That server sends the ascii output to a
local printer. That output can be one or more pages, and those pages are
sent manually to a fax. The idea is to make it automatic: instead of
printing to a normal printer, we'd like to add a new printer wich operates
with the ascii text and sends it to hylafax.
 I'll get the fax numbers operating with the ascii text ( an script -grep-
or maybe a little C program). 
 Until here, there is no much problem, just creating a printer whose
device is /dev/null and the apropiate filter that calls sendfax would be
enough, because sendfax converts ascii automaticaly. The real problem is
this: All pages that conform de fax, must have the company logo in the
top.
 Mm.. maybe another bit of scripting will be needed to separate the entire
text into diferent (N)  text files.. then using SOME program to merge the
 company logo image (a .bmp, .giff, .tiff, any format is ok) with all
pages that conform the fax, getting N Postscript files ready to be sent.
But not yet, I have to concatenate all that postcript pages before calling
sendfax (something like sendfax -n -m -d number final_file.ps).
 Maybe mpage (a nice Postscript manipulation program, from Marcel Mol
marcel@mesa.nl) will concatenate all those Postscript files.

  And all this will have to be a printer filter.. 

 But for now, the greatest problem I have is to merge a text file (that
fills an A4 page) with the company logotype. I've been some days fighting
with ImageMagick and its "combine" tool, a cool Image manipulation tool
(by cristy@sympatico.org) that seemed to be able to do the job, and it
does, but the resolution I get is poor.
 
 Has anyone done something like this? Ideas? Suggestions?

I believe that whfc uses the old flexfax port, and hfaxd neecs to run on
port 4557: take a look at

Hello,

I am setting up an HylaFAX server.

The very long distance between hylafax/linux server and the whfc/win95 client
increase the connection time length. It is a very big problem.

       To solve this problem, I think it's better to create a spooler
(linux based system) between HylaFAX server and whfc client.

	But I am not a good progammer, please, help me to build deamons for
this spooler. If you have more informations about working of the port 4559
send it to me.

Dear Dani,

|  Hi, I'm using whfc in a couple of Win95 /NT as clients for HylaFax, and
| I've noticed that sometimes, when I send something to print, the phone
| dialog doesn't appear, and the message: 
| 
|  No valid file c:\tmp\faxspool spooled
|

I don't know what's the cause of this, but I've seen it too. I'm trying
to set it up on one Win95 machine, which is a slow Pentium with 8MB RAM.
I have written to the author of WHFC about this, and his reply did not
contain any clear-cut answer. I guess there's nothing he can do. I now
wonder whether it's a MS idiosyncracy?

Anyone else using WHFC seriously? Any similar observations?

You need to run a "make clean" and a new "make depend" at minimum. Better
yet would be installing it from source.

I will try it, but what bothers me is that the rpms of hylafax (that works
for a friend of mine) seems to work but I keep receiving error messages
(or status using faxstat -s) with 'Transparent error...'.

I think this could be a ghostscript problem and I am fetching ghostscript
(and fonts) 5.01.rpm to see what happens.

Thanks for ansering me and if you have any tips please let me know...

The problem I have mentionned is not inherent on HylaFAX or WHFC.
I just want reduce the connection duration length of the PC/WHFC/Win95
on the Network (with big N). I want to reduce phone cost by sparing the whfc out
of Network congestion.

It's the reason why I want to create a spooler,  this spooler need a deamon
who receive data transmitted by WHFC and send it to the real HylaFAX.
Does such deamon exist yet? does hylafax configurable for such task?

If this deamon doesn't exist I want to know the PROTOCOL and  GRAMMAR
used by HylaFAX to exchange data with WHFC.

Please, help me

Two suggestions,

One, there is an email-> fax gateway that some people are using.  This 
would handle the spooling requirement.

There is no HylaFAX specific documentation  on it's protocol.  It is 
very much based on the FTP protocol.  The WHFC Source Code is available,
and combined with "sendfax -vv", that is about all the help that you
are going to be able to find.

Good Luck,

Hey all,

	Im looking at implementing the following system and am looking for ideas, comments
or any help you guys can give me .... I have hylafax 4.x installed on Linux .. with currently
2 modems attached .. with more modems being added soon thru a stallion card..

Im looking at implementing a server for my workmates where they are all given a virtual
Fax telephone number .. when dialed these numbers are funneled through to the hylafax
server which recieves the fax and then somehow sorts the fax into a seperate directory
using the TSID the the pabx? or telco gives FaxGetty ... 

Then for each of these seperate virtual fax boxes I want to make seperate scripts or rules
where it either emails them notifcation of the recieved fax .. or emails the fax to a 
preprogrammed email address on receipt .. so therefore .. each TSID number has a rule or 
script attached to it to tell HylaFax what to do with it ..  These scripts can be modified
from a webpage for easy delivery of recived fax's to the persons current location... 

Has anyone does anything like this ? .. I have read both :

http://www.vix.com/hylafax/FAQ/Q85.html
http://www.vix.com/hylafax/FAQ/Q161.html

which gives me the idea this can be done .. but in Q85 sam says setup 2 different receiving
scripts for each modem .. where i want a seperate script for each TSID (virtual fax number)
I'm sure i need to start with the faxrcvd script .. but dont know where to start ...

Any help appreciated .... especially on how/where to setup the actual scripts that sort the
faxes by the TSID given to FaxGetty

Hi,

whfc uses the new protocol on 4559. But there are problems
when connecting whfc with hfaxd on sun or HP-UX. I have
currently no idea whats happen, i know only where in my code
the problem occures.

Hi

I'm running Hylafax v4.0pl1 on a linux machine (Slackware 2.0.0).
I only use outbound faxes, and it's work (most of the time) great.
My problem is that suddenly I began to get the status
"Job time limit exceeded" for some faxes, and the fax not sent (not
even try to dial; 0 of 12 tries).
Here is an example of "faxstat -d" command:

	HylaFAX scheduler on faxs.sela.co.il: Running
	Modem cua1 (SelaFax): Waiting for modem to come ready

Hi,

I'm still trying to fix the following problem:


I'd like to use different tag lines for each of my outgoing faxes and
therefore tried both, the TagLine flag in the ~/.hylarc file and as shown
below the -F flag of sendfax.

    sendfax -F "TEST" -n -d 067329411333 test.ps

Unfortunately this always results in the folowing error message (idependent
of the user from which I try to send my fax):

    503 Permission denied: no write access to job parameter USETAGLINE.



of course the

     sendfax -n -d 067329411333 test.ps

command works fine all the time so that I think the problem must be
specific to the -F option.

Could there be some sort restriction to this option that first has to be
disabled?

Hello everybody !!!
I'm peter from france (pierre en franais)
I am looking for , and I haven't still find, a list of all the commands of HylaFAX,
and their effect.
I am looking since few days for HylaFAX, to use it on my AIX,
but I need to know two things :
- Is it possible to wright a driver for another kind of modem : we are using a specific kind of modem call Faxbox from DCE, a british company, and it has its own protocole, with a specific command language, using the T4 format.
- I need to know also if it is possible to wright API that allow other application to send fax ?
I'am programming from few days on Aix that's pearhaps why my questions are not very interesting !!!
Thanck you for your help
See you soon !!!

Heya All .. 

still working my way through the faxrcvd script ...

With FaxDispatch .. what format is it meant to be in ? anyone know .. i guess it should
be just a simple shell script  .. 

if $SENDER = 123456 then return value ?

this is what faxrcvd does with it ...

    SENDER="`$INFO $FILE | $AWK -F: '/Sender/ { print $2 }' 2>/dev/null`"
    SENDTO=
    if [ -f etc/FaxDispatch ]; then
        . etc/FaxDispatch       # NB: FaxDispatch sets SENDTO based on $SENDER
    fi

Anyone already done a FaxDispatch script they want to share or tell me about? =)

thanks ...

I'm pretty sure that this is in the documentation, as I remember seeing
it before without having looked at the code.  However I can't find it
in the obvious man pages (but see below).  But, in any case, it is rather
easy to find with a grep of the source code:

/*
 * Run the interpreter with the configured timeout and
 * collect the output from the interpreter in case there
 * is an error -- this is sent back to the user that
 * submitted the job.
 */
fxBool
faxQueueApp::runConverter1(Job& job, int fd, fxStr& output)
{
    int n;
    Timeout timer;
    timer.startTimeout(postscriptTimeout*1000);
    char buf[1024];
    while ((n = Sys::read(fd, buf, sizeof (buf))) > 0 && !timer.wasTimeout()) {
        cleanse(buf, n);
        output.append(buf, n);
    }
    timer.stopTimeout();
    if (timer.wasTimeout()) {
        jobError(job, "CONVERT DOCUMENT: job time limit exceeded");
        output.append("\n[Job time limit exceeded]\n");
        return (FALSE);
    } else
        return (TRUE);
}
....
{ "uucplocktimeout",    &faxQueueApp::uucpLockTimeout,  0 },
{ "postscripttimeout",  &faxQueueApp::postscriptTimeout, 3*60 },
{ "maxconcurrentjobs",  &faxQueueApp::maxConcurrentJobs, 1 },

which is what you will presumably have to modify in the config file, unless
your postscript program really is looping!


Actually, it is in the man pages, it just isn't in the detailed descriptions,
only the summary:

bash$ cd ../man
bash$ grep -i postscripttimeout *
config.4f:PostScriptTimeout\(dg integer \s-1300\s+1     timeout on \*(Ps interpreter runs (secs)
bash$

I don't think HylaFAX supports this as it stands. The only work-around
that I can think of is to give a list of names to sendfax as part of
the destination:

	sendfax -d "person1, person2, person3"@1234.5679

I have not tried that, but I think it should work....

HylaFAX will can send PS or TIFF formated documents. If you have other
formats that you want to send, then you need to convert them first. See
sendfax and typerules man pages to see how this can be done
automatically.

It used to do that. Or else I used to use the other sendpage and it did 
it. I just find the whole thing to be very unreliable. Mostly it just 
gives up too easily. We send the same page to 3 or 4 people at a time 
with multiple "-p name" arguments, then I often get back messages that 
say there were too many concurrent job and some get lost. That is a 
nightmare. Also it should have an option to keep dialing even if it 
doesn't think the other end is a fax machine. We use the system to page 
us of any system failures and then to dial our phone in the middle of the 
night just in case we didn't hear the page :-).

in the PS2FAX file, modify the last portion of the script which tosses the
file off to Ghostscript as follows:

Change the first line of this from: 

	$CAT $fil | $PS -q \

to:
	$CAT $fil | $SED -e 's/dup \/PageSize \[612 792\] put//g' | $PS -q \

This removes the pagesize info from the postscript file, and all seems to
work fine thereafter.

NOTE:  This works on OUR system which is Linux kernel 2.0.29, HylaFAX
4.0pl1, WHFC client .3e.  We take no responsibility if this sends obnoxious
X-Rated faxes to the White House or other such nonsense.

I don't think such a daemon exists. And I believe you can study the
protocol by invoking sendfax (the Unix-based Hyla client) with -v -v. I
think two "-v"s will give more details. Maybe you can even try some of
the servertracing log levels.

Hello

I am running Hylafax Ver4.0 pl1 on a linux machine (Slackware 2.00)

I have a problem when sending .tif or .ps files. I think it's because when the file is translated to fax format it takes a long time (too long) and then I recieve a message: "Job time limit exceeded"

How can I change the parameter to add more time to this process?

Hmm.  I've been running hylafax on 2.6 for some months (various Betas)
and I think there _is_ a slight problem.  I've written a state monitor
so I can see all the transitions in real-time, and I had modems sticking
in the wrong state with the 2.5 pre-compiled package.  I recompiled
faxgetty on a 2.6 machine and turned off CONFIG_FIFOBUG and it seemed to
be a lot better.

I also had fun compiling with SunPro C++ 4.2.  I ended up using this as

This has been driving me crazy for a long time, and I have searched
everywhere for resolution and come up dry.

10 copies of the same message destined for different PINs at the same pager
company gets submitted to the queue with a priority of 127.

10 separate phone calls to the same phone number are made (another
annoyance, but I digress).

Depending on how long it takes to send the first bunch of messages, 2-5
messages will "time-out" and be returned.

How do I increase the "maximum time to deliver" for different priority
levels?

Please CC me the answer directly as I am not currently subscribed.

Yes - no matter what kind of operation.
Below is a post from Theodore Y. Ts'o sent to linux ppp regarding the linux
device files(Author of linux's serial stuff)

For data logins you can get faxgetty to start mgetty to run your data
connections look back in the mailing lists a few weeks ago for "HylaFax and
PPP" messages.

   Someone will flame me to a crisp if I'm wrong, but I think I heard Theodore
   T'so say somewhere (linux-kernel, newsgroups, something -- I don't
remember)
   that /dev/cua? support may be gone soon in 2.1.x.  In any event, I'd be
   kinda surprised if 2.2.0 still supported /dev/cua?.

Two weeks ago (more or less) I sent mail to linux-kernel and
linux-serial proposing to remove support for /dev/cua? from *all* serial
drivers in the 2.1 release.  It was sent with a "any complaints, speak
up now".  I got only one complaint, from someone who didn't understand
that there was a better way to do things, and support from a large
number of people, including Gert Doering (the author of mgetty).

So it's going to happen.....

It's called "faxgetty". For data connections, it calls your machine's
version of getty.

Technically, in terms of the original intention of the cua0/ttyS0 distinction,
it is a dialout connection, as the first move is actually made by faxgetty, not
the modem.  However, as others have said, the use of cuax for any purpose on
Linux is being discouraged.

PS.  Please never request receipts on mailing lists (doing so at any time for
internet mail is expensive for the network). I suspect the X-'s have been
introduced by the list software to neutralise these:

Well, first Read The Fine Manual, online at
http://www.vix.com/hylafax/ The format of the transmitted faxes is
tiffg3: HylaFAX can automatically translate normal TIFF, Postscript
and plain text to that format. Other formats need to be converted
to one of these formats first, usually Postscript.

Enough people responded that the ZDX should work that I got a fresh wind 
and beat my head against it long enough to determine that when using an 
Equinox SST serial board you must turn on "rts cts li lo" flags to make it
work. 

We are now faxing .tiff files.   We are still unable to get Postscript files
to fax, but sent an earlier note on that. 

Thanks to all.

I think this has already been covered in the last few days, however...

ASCII yes, ISO 8859-1 - I'm not sure, Windows ANSI codepage - no, IBM CP 437 -
           no, IBM codepages for Western Europe - no, ISO 8859-x, for x not 1
           - no, (with a suitable code convertor, you can use the compatible
           subsets of the unsupported code pages - with a suitable postscript
           font, you may be able to use most of them).
.txt yes, if that means ASCII
.doc yes, if that means ASCII, not if it means Microsoft word, unless you can
          find a Microsoft Word to Postscript (etc.) convertor that will
          run on Unix (you can run such convertors (i.e. Word or Word Viewer)
          on the Windows side and then give the postscript to hylafax).

.tiff	yes for G3 coding, fairly easily for other codings
.gif, .jpg, .pbm etc. tools are available to adapt from these
Postscript yes

Incidentally you seem to be using a rather old version of MS-Mail, which 
generates broken timezone codes:

Yes. You are trying to run SCO version 3.2 based ghostscript on a SCO
version 5 machine: this is *probably* the source of your trouble. I'd
suggest installing a new version of ghostscript, from 
	ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/ghost/aladdin/

I have fairly good installation notes for SunOS 4.1.x attached
below. You should use whatever the X11 directory is for your machine,
instead of /usr/openwin.

  Get
	  ghostscript-4.03.tar.gz
	  ghostscript-4.03gnu.tar.gz
	  ghostscript-4.03jpeg.tar.gz
	  ghostscript-4.03libpng.tar.gz
	  ghostscript-4.03zlib.tar.gz
	  ghostscript-fonts-other-4.40.tar.gz
	  ghostscript-fonts-std-4.03.tar.gz

  from ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/ghost/aladdin/

  Extract the jpegsrc, libpng, and zlib source, and make symbolic links for
  libpng and zlib to the specific version directories.  Install the fonts at
  /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts.

  Tweak the ugcclib.mak, cc-head.mak, gcc-head.mak, and ansihead.mak to use
  /usr/openwin/include and /usr/openwin/lib for the XINCLUDE and XLIB
  directories. Add a "-s" flag to the INSTALL_PROGRAM flag. Then symbolically
  link the modified makefile, run tar_cat, and last compile and install the
  source.


Enjoy.

Sender: owner-flexfax@celestial.com

I have been running HylaFAX for a couple of years now.  Once I got
lucky with the modem configuration, I pretty much left it alone - no
need to provoke the modems gods unnecessarily :-).

I've noticed recently the term Voice Modem.  Is this something new, or
is it just a different term for old non-fax modems?

I am especially curious because I would like to get some telephone
answering software for my computer (486/Pentium, Linux).  I am willing
to buy a new modem if necessary.  Has anyone got any recommendations
as to modem and software?

The FAQ says that vgetty doesn't do what I want.  The mail list
archives have nothing other than complaints about voice calls messing
up fax reception.

Subject: flexfax: Distinguising between Ringthough and Busy
Sender: owner-flexfax@celestial.com

I am running HylaFAX on Linux, and am wondering about some of the limits
you can set through the configuration, determining the Maximum number of
times HylaFAX will try due to various circumstances.

MaxDials         integer  unlim   max phone calls to make to transmit a job
MaxTries         integer  3       max attempts to transmit a job
NoCarrierRetrys  integer  1       number of times to retry dialing on ``NO
CARRIER''

But what I want, is for it to:
	Maximum 2 times for Ring-through (No Answer)
	Maximum 12 times for BUSY
	Maximum 3 times for faild attempt.
	Maximum 1 Retry on "NO CARRIER"

The problem I think I have, is that HylaFAX doesn't distinquish between "No
Answer" and "BUSY" when finding out how many attempts.

Is there a config option that I missed? Or is this the way it is, I'll have
to live with it?

Thanks.

We do this via a Unix printer accessed via SAMBA on the Unix box.  As far
as M$-Word is concerned, it's just a PostScript printer.  We have a SYSV
type printer interface script that extracts the fax number from the
PostScript using ps2ascii (after stripping the M$ garbage memory tests :-).
The fax number is simply a pattern ``Fax: phone_number'' where phone_number
is a pattern that looks like a telephone number.  Once it has the phone
number it sends that via sendfax with the cleaned up PostScript file as
input.

This printer interface works with any text or PostScript file so can be
used from any Unix or DOS/Windows client.

Sigh. This only works if you have a local machine with Microsoft Word
on it to print from, connected to your Samba and HylaFAX server. This
misses out on the entire point of the original question, whether it is
possible to *convert* Word documents to fax without doing it from
inside Microsoft Word as a separate operation.

The way you are doing it is *useful*. But a more general MS Word ->
Postscript utility for UNIX systems would be better.

as far as i'm concerned, that's the easy part.  my goal is for people
halfway around the world even, to be able to send ascii or ms-word email
to a recipient, where the result is faxed to them.  the idea is to make
the whole process invisible to the user, they just write a quick note and
email it, or attach the quarterly newsletter; resulting in a fax being
received by the fax machine of the email account holder.  in doing this,
the word document must be converted to postscript.  how to do this in a
completely automated way is what i'm trying to figure out now.

of COURSE it would be better.  but given the current situation, anything
that works will be perfectly acceptable.  this isn't a theoretical
question as far as i'm concerned, i'm trying to actually find a way to do
it, any way i can.  sure would have been nice if gnu decided to make
ghost word a few years back.

Newish; it provides better access to the signalling tones and provides
digitised access to the speech path.  It would include a normal
data modem and probably fax as well, although there seems to be a
tradeoff between Class 2 fax and voice in the Rockwell chipset.

I haven't got it working properly yet, and I haven't been trying to
do it with Hylafax.  However, vgetty (from the mgetty suite) seems to
be the only free option.

I would have reservations about doing this on Linux with the standard
serial drivers unless you have test run the configuration.  I believe
there is a problem with the drivers which causes corrupt characters with
at least some chipsets, but until I try re-implementing that part of
the driver, I can't be sure.  The Comtrol Rocket Port driver and card
seems immune, but I've not tried them with vgetty, or Hylafax (they might
not work with Class 1 fax).

vgetty also needed modifying because it tried to set a voice mode which
was not supported, I think because of the regulatory requirements on
UK modems.  This was on a Rockwell chipset based modem - NB the Rockwell
chipset is customisable - if you buy a cheap brand it may not be customised
the same way as my cheap modem.

My impression is that vgetty support is a hook which was not used by
the developers.

Ok, so people want to automate this process from a client that may not be on
the same network as the Windows box, or from just sending email...

So .. how bout this .... You setup locally on the same network the above 
configuration and then setup a mail server on the windows box. All mail
that is to be faxed gets sent to the windows box first to the mail server,
its then pre-processed like the above and then this gets sent sent via
samba to the unix box running hylafax for sending ...

Now, yes this is VERY messy, and i dont even know how or what functionality
the windows box running the mail server will give you with regards to 
submitting the fax to the HylaFAX server .. there may be all types of problems
with it ... namely .. this is only an email solution .. the pc/mac client
programs wont work? .. also there is the problem of getting to mail server
run on the windows machine to pass along all the relevant info on the origin
of the mail message so the HylaFAX server's notify script can work properly..

So .. yes this is a very hap hazzard solution .. but it is automated, once
you can get the samba/windows mail server/hylfax server all talking and 
passing all the correct information to each other.

And yes, as some have mentioned .. a UNIX M$ word converter would be PERFECT!
but alas, none are around and I dont see Microsoft trying to make one .. 
and the chances of reverse engineering a M$ word viewer and coding it for
unix are pretty slim ;)

just my thoughts on the situation ..

Get a real Class 2 modem, or fall back to class one.  There were many
reports about 2 to 3 months ago that Sportsters were broken in this way.

The lack of subsequent reports suggests one or more of:

- USR have fixed the firmware;
- they have withdrawn the product;
- people have been warned off and don't try.

NB the Courier and Sportster models are rather different.  I think the
problems were reported on the Sportster only.

I'm reposting under a new title, otherwise this will get overlooked.

As far as I know, modern ghostscripts will work with any Chinese Poscript
font; you then just need an authoring tool that also understands that 
font.  I'll leave it to people with this need to confirm this.  There is
at least one freeware Chinese postcript font.

This may not be the best of all solutions. But, I require any customer
using my FAX facilities to send in Postscript format. WinWord, in all
incarnations, has postscript printer drivers. I make my users use them. I
get some gripes, but I don't get the problem you're complaining of either.
I am working on another choice (PDF) but not all my WinWord users have
Acrobat3/PDFwriter and it *is* quite expensive(~$300).

If you wanted to be sadistic, you could force plain-text <evil grin>.

Right now, I'm trying to get sendmail to bounce WinWord attachments to my
FAX service.

that's actually a pretty good idea, until you can support it, bounce it.
i can't ask anyone to send in postscript, coz they won't even know they're
sending to a fax.  it's just transparent.  and the customer is the one
receiving, not the one sending.
if somebody tries to send a word attachment, having the mail returned
would be better than having it disappear into thin air.  they could at
least know that it won't work, and contact the email recipient directly to
fax a hardcopy or something.

please let me know if/when/how you get that working with sendmail :-)

That's right, but any idea how this can be done, in the case of a word

can this be used to take normal big5 text, and print them without
requiring any special attention?  (set faxmail's body font to this or
something)
i've found a couple programs to take chinese text and make a postscript
output (make the chinese into graphics or something).  to make this work
correctly i'd have to make faxmail output in ascii (or convert ps2ascii
but still retain the carriage returns in the proper locations), then pipe
it through the chinese converter, then send with sendfax.. quite a long
tricky pipe.
anyone out there know of a way to convert postscript to ascii and have it
still look like the original (not have all carriage returns lost, and the
whole thing word wrapped) ?  ghostscript's ps2ascii is messed..

There is a bug in hylafax-v4.0pl1.  In the destctrls file, time of day
strings such as:

	TimeOfDay = "Wk0200-0750,Saturday0200-0750,Sunday0200-1200"

are interpreted as:

	TimeOfDay = "Wk0200-0750,Sat,Sun"
	
In other words, after the specification of a day of the week, the time
specification is ignored.  The patch at the end of this email fixes
this problem.

Thanks for hylafax
Stuart

PS.  The problem is fairly easy to see.  The "for" loop in following
code eats all nonalpha characters after the specification of a day of
the week.  This includes the time specification.

	Hi,
	
I recently recognized some fairly disturbing effects while using
HylaFax V4.01 on my Linux-Box.

It seems to me, as if Postscript data, sent to the fax server, is
recognized as text and so will be converted to postscript via the
"textfmt" command.

These faxes never will be sent because of this error: "Job time limit
exceeded"

The data files were generated from DVI-Files, using dvips (dvipsk
5.58f). The first few lines of such a file read:

%!PS-Adobe-2.0
%%Creator: dvipsk 5.58f Copyright 1986, 1994 Radical Eye Software
%%Title: pufahl.dvi
%%Pages: 1
%%PageOrder: Ascend

If I have a look at the files in docq, I see something like:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Creator: HylaFAX TextFmt Class
%%Title: 
%%CreationDate: Mon Aug 25 00:54:17 1997
%%For: stenny

	[...]
	
B(%!PS-Adobe-2.0)S
B(%%Creator: dvipsk 5.58f Copyright 1986, 1994 Radical Eye Software)S

	[...]
	
I recognize a similar effect, when I trie to send a fax via my
mail2fax gateway. I installed the script and patched my sendmail.cf
according to the documentation in the appropriate script file.

Everythings seems to work, apart from the effect, that every message,
I send to the fax server via the mail gateway will result in a
postscript file treated as text. If I send a plain ascii file to the
fax server, it is converted in the expected way.

So, something must be wrong in my installation, but up to now I wasn't
able to find the fault. Can anyone out there give me a hint, where to
look further?

	thanks in advance

when you send a postscript file, are you just cut/pasting the text? or
sending it as a postscript MIME type?  sending it as pure text will make
fax barf, coz it doesn't use magic to detect a ps message.  it's dumb and
has to watch the mime do his act in the street.

Sorry, but that's just plain wrong.  ;-)

HylaFAX uses a magic number typing scheme and types files quite intelligently according to the definitions setup in typerules (5f).  If postscript files are being incorrectly typed as ascii text, you may indeed have a problem.  Try having a look at the process by invoking sendfax with the '-v' flag:

[tpcadmin@hewes ~]$ sendfax -v -d 1234567 < postscript_file.ps
match against (..., 72)
rule: offset 0 string = "%!" -- success (result postscript, rule "")
Apply DisplayNumber rules to "1234567"
--> return result "1234567"
COVER SHEET "/usr/local/bin/faxcover -f 'Mr. Arlington Hewes' -n '1234567' -s 'default'"
request id is 162 (group id 162) for host localhost (1 file)

contrast this to the sending of an ASCII file:

[tpcadmin@hewes ~]$ sendfax -v -d 1234567 </etc/hosts
match against (..., 292)
rule: offset 0 string = "%!" -- failed (comparison)
rule: offset 0 short = 0x4d4d -- failed (comparison)

If postscript files are being incorrectly typed as ascii text, you may indeed have a problem.  Try having a look at the process by invoking sendfax with the '-v' flag:

does it check the magic for each attachment/part?
i mean, i can go "cat blah.ps|mail faxtest" and it'll come out printing
the contents of the postscript file instead of interpreting it.
if i send it in pine, as a mime attachment, it recognizes the mime type
and sends it straight through to ghostscript.. (i peeked at the source of
faxmail too)

btw is there any way to make faxmail output in ascii instead of formatting
it in postscript?  my purpose is to use another program (cnprint or c2ps)
to do the converting to postscript, to print chinese.  i need to have
attachments / multiparts decoded to plain text and the header simplified
and stripped of the paths and reply-to's, etc. just like faxmail does..
but cnprint/c2ps want ascii input, and output their own postscript pages
(chinese is converted to encapsulated graphics or something, doesn't
require external fonts from ghostscript)

Hi,
I'm running HylaFax on a Linux 2.0.30 System and use whfc on a NT 
3.51 Box.
Trying to send faxes with more than 2 pages the postscriptfile in 
/var/spool/fax/doc only contains less pages than it should by (i.e 5 
of 8).
There are no errors in the trace/log-files (neither on linux nor on 
nt).
Any ideas?

Hi,

that seems the same problems as under Windows 95. A first workaround
is to setup the postscript timeout value. But this doesn't work all the
times.

Subject: flexfax: DTMF time length code, and PPI 336 modems, and skel/config files
Sender: owner-flexfax@celestial.com

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Two things. First, I had a problem faxing to Geneva yesterday and had
to poke around for the register to make the system dial more slowly.
It's S11, and the only obvious place to stick it is in the
ModemWaitTimeCmd along with S7 which sets the timeout waiting for the
carrier. Basically, dialing Geneva from Boston, I had considerable
difficulty unless I extended the length of each digit dialed from the
default 95 msec of my PPI 14400 FXMT modems to at least 120 msec.

Should we add a field for this data?

Second, I took another short shot at using a PPI 33.6 external
Macintosh modem over the weekend. This was useless: the Ring Indicator
did some *very* odd things, and the manuals did not include the full
command set to modify those settings for that modem.

Does anyone have a working 33.6 configuration for PPI modems?

Last: in looking over the way the config and skel files are laid out,
it seems to me that the SERVER data of the skel file is unnecessarily
duplicated in the class{1,2,2.0} config files. Wouldn't it make more
sense to leave it in the skel file so that a site can easily alter its
settings for *all* modems, and comment them out in the class{1,2,2.0}
files?

You just tried to dial the operator instead of your fax recipient, whatever
that number was, unless they use a leading "0" for something else in
your country.

Thanks for your hints. Meanwhile, I found my fault. I set up my
typerules file according to the corresponding man page. This man page
states, that the typerules file consists of records, describing the
file type by a magic number system. These records consist of various
fields, separated by whitespace characters.

This is definitely wrong. Instead, the only character, that should be
used to separate the fields of the typerules file is the <TAB>
character.

If you have a look at '.../hylafax-v4.0pl1/util/typetest.c++', you
will recognize, that for a match-type of 'string' the
<SPACE>-character (0x20) is a valid member of the match-value and so
cannot be used as a field-separating character.

The fields in my typerules file were separated by a mixture of TAB and
SPACE :-(

Perhaps, this should be clarified (the correct term? - my english is
rather awful tonight :-) in the man page.

This is a bit of a hack for modems that dont auto detect the type of

This needs to be done at compile time i think the default is aomething like
/sbin/egetty and /sbin/getty.
Whatever these links will need to exist for the data call to be answered
ie ln -s /usr/sbin/mgetty /sbin/egetty

Umm: Don't the 28.8 and 33.6 modems generally work much better in
Class 1?  Many don't work in Class 2 *at all*.  I would definitely
turn the SpeakerVolume to "low" while debugging, as well.

> ModemSetupAACmd:	AT+FAA=1	# enable in current class

And many brands of modem require a bit extra here, since for the old
Rockwell chipset (and maybe some more modern modems), auto-adapt only
works in Class 0 operation. So you might try this instead:

	ModemSetupAACmd:	AT+FCLASS=0+FAA=1	# enable in current class

Well, sort of.  I asked Sam to add the voice hooks to HylaFax because I
have a ZyXEL modem that I wanted to use primarily as an answering machine
and to send/receive FAXes as a second priority.  He was kind enough to
fold the changes into the source tree.

I've been using a ZyXEL 1496 E+ modem with 6.13 firmware as my home
answering machine for a year or more now, letting HylaFAX drive the
modem and invoke my application as "egetty" when the phone rings.

Unfortunately, I never quite got around to doing a few things
that would make it more generally useful (and so suitable for a wider release):
	* Finishing support for USR modems
	* Utilities for convering wave files into modem voice files
	* Better answering machine scripting
	* Trying it on any platform other than SunOS

However, if there are some hardy souls out there who are willing to spend
some time getting it to work, my source code and somewhat out-of-date
documentation can be found in:
	ftp://ftp.inconceivable.com/pub/vgetty/voicegetty.tar.gz

The code shouldn't be too hard to compile, but creating your own
voice-prompts and writing an answering machine script can be pretty
time-consuming--not to mention the various modem issues one is likely to
run into.

I will attempt to answer any questions received by direct e-mail, but I only
read this list mailing occasionally.

Hi everybody.

I have a problem with a new Hylafax Installation on a Linux Box.
I installed ghostscript-4.03, tiff-v3.4 and Hylafax-4.0pl1.
My Zyxel 1496E (Firmware 5.05) seems to work and hfaxd accepts
postscript files from the clients.
Unfortunately the job never appears in the send queue and I get this 

	 Status: Can't find initialization file gs_init.ps

in the mail that Hylafax sends.

TIA for any help

Your Modem doesn't accept your init string "ATE0V1Q0S0=0H0" and doesn't
turn off echo. You should check which part of the init string is the
problem and modify it.

Good luck

You need a decent drawing program with which you can basically *draw*
your fax. "Word" on a PC or Mac, or the ImageMagick software at
ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/ImageMagick for X11 based
machines may help you. Then you need to turn your drawing into a TIFF
or Postscript file and send *that* with HylaFAX.

You can manipulate the cover page by creating a Postscript file that
will be used instead of the default. I suggest looking in
ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/fax/contrib/ for the faxcovers and information there.

Alternately, it may be possible to use an image merging program such
as the ImageMagick "montage" package.

On my HylaFAX server the bin/notify script sometimes crashes.
When i check this manually, i can see that the notify.awk script works

When I pipe this output into /usr/lib/sendmail - as the script does,
I get the following error:
[ No such file or directory ] sub-directory 'q.smtp' missing

My fax server runs HylaFAX v4.0p1 on SCO OpenServer 5.0.2.
The mail system used is "mmdf" and not "sendmail", although there is
a /usr/lib/sendmail command which works properly in most cases.
The email address which caused the crash is a valid address with
the host name explicitly specified (name@host.domain.com)

Hi Folks, I have been using HylaFAX(tm) for a while and everything was
running smooth.  Unfortunately the machine that was running the server
needed to be replaced (the hard drive was showing strange messages).

Well, I have installed RedHat 4.2 and the following rpms :
- hylafax-4.0pl1-5.i386.rpm
- hylafax-client-4.0pl1-1.i386.rpm
- hylafax-fonts-1.0-1.i386.rpm
- tiff-3.4beta035-1.i386.rpm
- ghostscript-3.33 (and fonts)

I am using the same modem (USR Courier) that was working previously but
now I receive those messages in my /var/log/messages :

Does anybody know what is going on ?
I have the ghostscrpt 5.01 (and fonts) in rpm here.

Should I install it ?

Thanks,

  Mario de Mello.

We are experiencing exactly the same problems with a USR Courier modem.
Are these problems you are experiencing persistent or transient? Over here,
they occur transiently; it usually works, but ever so often the modem
seems to get confused somehow, refusing to dial out. The problems will
disappear as soon as the modem is turned off and on again. What happens
when you talk to the modem using cu or minicom and try to dial out?
Try something like "ATE1Q0Dxxxx" and see what happens. When our modem
gets confused, it will always respond with "ERROR". Obviously the
problem is not caused by Hylafax, but rather by a bug in the modem firmware.

Has anyone else experienced these problems? Any ideas on what might be
at fault?

Our firmware revision is:

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Did you set ATZ for PagerSetupCmds? ATZ re-enables the echo mode

Hi !


Regarding errors in communication between USR Sportsters and plain faxes
(tested with Canon S 270 and some Panasonics) when faxsend start cycling
with mentioned errors:

> Aug 22 21:54:30.48: [  492]: --> [25:+FNF:=AD=1B+FCI:"(408) 379-96]
                                    ^^^^^^^

> =02e=B3=02e=B3=02e=B3=02]

I found out that if I put:

Class2NRCmd:            AT+FNR=1,1,1,0  # setup status reporting command

in config file for modem, thinks go away.

I don't have a clue why or what, I just tested this and now faxes are
going thru. I've looked in the log message from mgetty+sendfax process and
found out that there is AT+FNR=1,1,1,0 instead AT+FNR=1,1,1,1 like in
hylafax.
