Hello,

I would like to configure hylafax(4.4.4) + iaxmodem(1.1.1). I use Asterisk
and I work on Redhat.
I installed the two hylafax and iaxmodem.
My configuration of iaxmodem is: (in the file /etc/iaxmodem/ttyIAX0)

device /dev/ttyIAX0
owner uucp:uucp
mode 660
port 4570 #each line should have it's own port number!
refresh 300
server 127.0.0.1
peername IAXmodem #this is the local extension number in FreePBX (create it!)
secret 12345 #password for the extension
cidname Fax1
cidnumber ""
codec ulaw

I added this two lines in /etc/inittab

IA:2345:respawn:/usr/local/bin/iaxmodem ttyIAX0
mo:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty -D ttyIAX0

Then I tried to configure hylafax whith the command "faxsetup"

I meet a problem when I want to add a modem with the command "faxaddmodem"
but I can't, I have this response:

Serial port that modem is connected to []? ttyIAX0
/dev/ttyIAX0 is not a terminal device.

In fact in /dev I don't find ttyIAX0

I added the line
" /usr/sbin/faxgetty -D /dev/ttyIAX0 " in the file
"/etc/rc.d//rc.local"

and I tried the command "faxgetty -D /dev/ttyIAX0"

but nothing!!!

I tried the command "/usr/local/bin/iaxmodem ttyIAX0 "
I have the following response:
