hi everyone! warning: long questions ahead! here's my current setup: Mandrake Linux 7.1 8-port Equinox SST Multimodem card Dell Optiplex G1 (as listed in Linux.com) i've successfully setup the multimodem card so that my box can now accept incoming faxes; i've also put 8 entries in /etc/inittab with the appropriate 'fax DEV=<modem> FAXDIR=<incoming fax dir> answer' entries for each modem with their corresponding incoming directories. i've also set up the default fax script to use Class 1 modems (primarily only because it already works and i didnt think i'd need to try Class 2 or 2.0). when i send regular faxes from our HP Laserjet 3100 (fax/copier/printer in one) to the linux box, i can receive 'em fine, no problem. but when someone sends our linux box a fax from a Canon P301 fax machine, the modem replies with a fax tone but somehow the fax gets cut before it can get through. the Canon P301 fax machine, i'm told, is a japanese machine, with the messages it displays on its LCD all in japanese characters. my question is... why? why should a fax from a japanese machine fail to get through? does this have anything to do with modem class? what modem class does Equinox SST support? or does efax (or the fax script) have any other options that need to be considered? also, for viewing received faxes, i edited the /etc/fax.config script so that the following is the viewing option used: "VIEW='$EFIX -ve -p$PAGEDIM -r300 -opgm $f" this is the 75dpi setting. however when i view faxes with this option, i am unable to scroll through the image. is there any way to view the file in a scrollable window using "fax view"? also, can i convert the fax files to a bitmap? or some other graphic format? i know, i know, RTFM, and i've done that, but i can't seem to find any fax script option for converting fax files to jpg or gif or whatever. thanks in advance! any help will be greatly appreciated! joel DFNN.com _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
