 Starting faxgetty on startup I'm not too experienced with Linux, but sick of MS, I would like to setup my linux system as a faxserver, using Hylafax. I use a Fedora core 1, my modem is working as ttyS0 and I can start faxgetty from the command line. But it does not start on start up. In the manual it says I should configure /etc/inittab, which I tried, but I don't know what the lines there mean. Can anybody tell me how the line should look and whether I need to set up faxgetty somewhere else as well. I start the program manually with this command (I haven't received faxes with it yet, but the modems answers when I call the number): /usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0 Thanks in advance!      |

I used to be one of the HylaFAX maintainers, and this is precisely how you do it in modern versions of Linux. By the way, it's also very useful to use Kermit to test the state of the modem and make sure it handles outgoing connections correctly, and to examine the state of the modem registers. |
