HylaFAX is an enterprise-class system for sending and receiving facsimiles as well as for sending alpha-numeric pages.The software is designed around a client-server architecture. Fax modems may reside on a single machine on a network and clients can submit an outbound job from any other machine on the network. Client software is designed to be lightweight and easy to port. If you need to start hylafax at boot edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add the lines: script: # Starting the HylaFAX hfaxd and faxq Daemons at Boot. if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.hylafax ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.hylafax start fi Edit /etc/inittab and add a line(s) similar to: m0:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0 where 'm0' is unique in inittab and 'ttyS0' matches the device name(s) used at the outset of the faxaddmodem script. With root permissions, execute '/usr/sbin/faxsetup'. When finished, faxsetup will automatically run faxaddmodem for you. Generally, you can follow all of the defaults except those for FaxMaster, the local fax number(s), TSI, and any modem-specific information in faxaddmodem. It would be wise to run faxcron and faxqclean regularly from cron so that the queue directories do not clutter up and fill the storage device. Many installations run faxqclean every hour and faxcron every day. Insert something like this into your uucp or root crontab file: 0 * * * * /usr/sbin/faxqclean 0 0 * * * /usr/sbin/faxcron | mail -s "HylaFAX Usage Report" faxmaster
