If you've gotten the Hylafax RPM's installed without any problems and ran
the setup script and everything is ok you still have a couple of things to
do.
First you have to edit the /var/spool/fax/etc/hosts file and add the ip
addresses of who you want to connect to. I'm not sure if you can add a
network or not, but you do need to add the individual ip addresses of the
machines that'll be using the fax server. This is Hylafaxes "security
feature"(not to sophisticated, but ...).
You'll have to tell the hylafax service to start and the queuer process what
modem to use. I do this by adding a line to the rc.local like this.
#Start the Hylafax Fax Service
/init/rc.d/init.d/hylafax start
#Tell hylafax what modem to use
faxmodem ttyS1
You'll have to modify templates and everything, etc., etc., There are
better ways to do this, but this is easy, and keeping all modifications in
the rc.local file helps you keep track of what custom modifications you've
done to the e-smith server.
I hope this helps. You can do a "man faxmodem" to get a better ideal about
what's going on.
