Re: [asterisk-users] iaxmodem, chan_capi, hylafax problem and faxing in general
Hello Faris, Only I've sidetracked and am currently trying to use capi4hylafax instead of iaxmodem which seems to work wonderfully but I'm having some issues with root verses uucp permissions which is spoiling my fun. Make sure not to run faxgetty together with capi4hylafax. -- Best regards Peer Oliver Schmidt PGP Key ID: 0x83E1C2EA ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[asterisk-users] iaxmodem, chan_capi, hylafax problem and faxing in general
Can anybody point me in the right direction please? I'm having some issues getting iaxmodem and hylafax to talk to each other. I have no doubt that someone has had this type of issue before but I can't find anything useful in the archives or on Google. Under RH9, with chan_capi 7.1, Asterisk 1.2.24, with an AVI Fritz ISDN2e BRI card all working perfectly... I've downloaded and installed iaxmodem (2 days ago -- latest version - I'm not able to check exact release from where I am right now). It runs OK, and registers with Asterisk. I've downloaded and installed hylafax (again 2 days ago -- latest version). It installs OK and runs. I copied the suggested config file from iaxmodem directory to /var/spool/hylafax/config/etc (unchanged) I run iaxmodem before starting hylafax, and a device /dev/ttyIAX appears. Running iaxmodem in non-daemon mode shows no errors. I've not modified the default iaxmodem config other than in terms of username and password etc to register with asterisk. The problem is that when I run faxstat, it does not show hylafax connected to any tty. And when I try to run faxaddmodem (just to see what might happen) and select ttyIAX, I get an error saying that hylafax can't detect the speed of the device and that I should set it manually, and then iaxmodem promptly crashes at that point. I've poked and prodded generally but I'm getting nowhere. Does anybody have any suggestions as to where to start looking for the cause of the problem? For that matter, is this the right way to go? The idea is to have a central fax server running on the Asterisk box, receiving and sending via the ISDN BRI line. Ideally I'd like fax to email facilities and some point, and the ability for clients across our network to send faxes. I've seen that there's also another option, Astrifax, but that seems to require a separate installation of spandsp, java, and other bits which seems like a bit of overkill. Pointers or suggestions would therefore be appreciated.

You're probably not using HylaFAX+. The hylafax.org releases kill iaxmodem when faxaddmodem is run.

Re: [asterisk-users] iaxmodem, chan_capi, hylafax problem and faxing in general
Thanks Lee. No, I'm definitely not running faxgetty - I didn't realise I was supposed to :-( And no, I'm not using the + version. Back to square one. At least I'm going in the right direction again! Only I've sidetracked and am currently trying to use capi4hylafax instead of iaxmodem which seems to work wonderfully but I'm having some issues with root verses uucp permissions which is spoiling my fun. Anyway, thanks again! Faris. (please excuse my top posting) -Original Message- Faris Raouf wrote: The problem is that when I run faxstat, it does not show hylafax connected to any tty.
