Hey Slugs, Long time lurker, first time poster... Has anyone fixed this problem before (or recognise what I'm doing wrong). I'm having a problem with mgetty and a standalone fax machine which are sharing the same line. The modem that mgetty is using is configured for distinctive ring and should only recognise a RING2 signal. mgetty will pick up a RING2 after 2 rings, the fax machine will pickup any other call after 4 rings. Callers in my "disinctive ring list" are recognised by modem/mgetty and can connect with no problem. The problem occurs when other callers try to use the fax machine. The modem ignores the RING, but when the fax machine answers after the 4th ring, mgetty hears what's going on and tries to pick up the call too. The problem also seems to occur only when the caller sends a fax-id. Faxes with no fax-id are received with no problem. Is there someway to get mgetty (or the modem) to ignore a call that's been picked up by the fax machine? I've tried &C0 and &D0 for the modem and -D for mgetty. No luck. I'm using: Debian 2.2r3 Kernel 2.2.18pre21 mgetty 1.1.21-3 The modem is an old ISA Webexcel 56k. The fax machine is a HP3100. Other (possibly) relevant bits: /etc/inittab T0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -n 2 -x 4 -D /dev/ttyS0 /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config debug 4 speed 115200 init-chat "" ATZ OK data-only y I haven't touched the sendfax config, hence the wrong device name 'n' all, but here it is. /etc/mgetty/sendfax.config verbose y debug 5 fax-devices ttyS1 fax-id max-tries 3 max-tries-continue y Thanks for any help, David -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
