[asterisk-users] iaxmodem, chan_capi, hylafax problem and faxing in general

[Faris Raouf]

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.

You're probably not running faxgetty (and your later comments below 
confirm this...)

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