Another Solaris/ZyXEL thing.

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Thanks for you help in the DTR story of Solaris. The fax receiving
works great, by ignoring the warnings.

Other problem, if I try to send faxes I get the following:
# sendfax 7409603 first.g3
Trying fax device '/dev/term/b'... OK.
Dialing 7409603... OK.
sending 'first.g3'...
ERROR: RTN: page bad - retrain requested
sending page again (retry 1)
sending 'first.g3'...

And as normal user
~{patrick@sun2}$ sendfax 7409603 first.g3
cannot open logfile /var/log/sendfax.log: Permission denied
Trying fax device '/dev/term/b'... locked... locked... locked, give up!
sendfax: cannot access fax device(s) (locked?)
-> Seems to be a user setting problem, how to fix?

First one don't now, the connection is made, but no paper comes
out of the other end's fax.

In the policy.h I defined.
/* And this is for sending faxes
 *
 * Wrong settings here will typically result in that the first few
 * centimeters of a transmitted fax look perfect, and then (the buffer
 * has filled up), the rest is more or less illegible junk.
 * For most faxes, this has to be FLOW_SOFT, though the Supra and ZyXEL
 * modems will (sometimes) do hardware flow control, too. Try it.
 *
 * If you see a large number of [11] and [13] characters in the sendfax
 * log file, your modem is propably doing software flow control - and
 * you've definitely set FAXSEND_FLOW to FLOW_HARD...
 *
 * Some versions of SCO Unix have a "weird" serial driver that will only
 * do half duplex hardware flow control. You will then run into the
problem
 * that fax sending will time out after the first page sent (no ACK
received)
 * and fail if FLOW_HARD is used. Use FLOW_SOFT instead.
 */
#define FAXSEND_FLOW	FLOW_SOFT

What's wrong?
