Greetings People,

Can someone thats installed mgetty let me know how they have gone
about setting it up to rx faxs?   I have setup mgetty on my machine to
answer incoming data calls and it works great.

I thought seeing that i have a fax modem sitting there doing nothing
it would be nice to use the 'fax' side of mgetty seeing that i
allready have it all setup.

From what i understand, enabling the 'auto' modem in the mgetty.config
file will allow it to intercept fax calls and save them into the
appropriate dir in /var/spool/fax/ .  Ive been using a faxback service
to test it out but to no avail..

The modem i am using is a 'Netsurfer 33.6 fax/modem' and from the docs
it seems that it needs quote 'The Fax and voice functions of your
modem are application-driven' and i think thats why it fails to rx fax
calls.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?


Catch ya,
          Woody   <woody@netspace.net.au>
