mgetty fax operation questions

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

Hi,

I'm having some trouble getting mgetty to answer a fax call. I'm using a
USR Sportster as the receiving modem. The log_mg file shows that mgetty
properly communicated with the faxmodem, setting up the 2.0 class,
everything looks "normal" in the log file.

Then when I call it thru a fax machine, the modem answers as if it were
data, and the log reports that the chat script timed out. Seems like it's
not recognizing it as a fax call??

How can I debug this?

Another question:
I remember that hylafax has a feature which can detect or pass the fax ID
from the incoming fax. Can mgetty do the same? Can I, for example, somehow
save the incoming fax ID for each received fax?

Thanks for your help
Ricardo
