Hi,

I strongly suggest you take a look at the Contributed HOWTO by Darrell May concerning HylaFax...it's the easiest HylaFax you'll find anywhere.

I've had problems with Cypheus (and Win2K) so I recommend taking a look at WHFC.

Hi,

i am trying to follow the user manual comes with the Modem Actiontec V.90
PCI Modem PM 560LKI

 but when i type kudzu, the Hardware Discovery Utility doesnt comes out.

may i know is E-Smith support the command kudzu ? if not how can i access to
the Hardware Discovery Utility ?

pls assist

Configure Modem Actiontec V.90 PCI Modem PM 560LKI at Linux -RedHat

1.      1.      Type the following to determine the resources assigned to
your modem.

  lspci -vd 11c1:480

The following device entry is an example of a possible outcome. If you have
two modems, two device entries will be displayed.

  00:10.0 Communication controller: Lucent Microelectronics Venus Modem
(V90, 56KFlex)

  Subsystem: Action Tec Electronics Inc: Unknown device 0480
  Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
  Memory at fdffec00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
  I/O ports at 6400
  I/O ports at 6800
  I/O ports at 6c00
  Capabilities: [f8] Power Management version 2

Write down the first I/O address and the IRQ number assigned to your
modem(s). In the example above, the IRQ is 11 and the I/O address is 0x6400.
These values will vary from system to system. Note that the I/O port value
returned by lspci must be prefixed with '0x' signifying that the format is
hexadecimal. The setserial command, used in the next step, will require this
format.


     NOTE: If more than one modem is installed, complete each of the
following steps for the first modem. Then, return here and complete each
step for the second modem replacing /dev/ttyS2 with /dev/ttyS3 each time it
appears in a command.





     CAUTION: In some rare cases the logical serial devices /dev/ttyS2 and
/dev/ttyS3 may already be in use by other hardware. If this is the case, it
will be necessary to create a new logical serial device for the modem using
the MAKEDEV command. For more information on MAKEDEV type  man MAKEDEV  at
the Linux command prompt.


2.      2.      Type the following command to establish the modem as a
serial device. Substitute x with the IRQ and y with the I/O address recorded
in step one.

  setserial /dev/ttyS2 uart 16550A irq x port y

3.      3.      Issue the following command to start the Red Hat hardware
discovery utility.

  kudzu

4.      4.      The Welcome to Kudzu screen will appear. Press any key to
continue.




     NOTE: If no new hardware is found, the Red Hat hardware discovery
utility does not appear. In this case, restart from step one and ensure that
each command is entered exactly as shown.


5.      5.      The Hardware Added screen will appear and report that a
Generic Serial Modem has been added to the system. Press enter to configure
the modem. Kudzu will add the modem to its list of known hardware, create a
symbolic link from the ttyS device to the modem device, and exit.



6.      6.      Issue the following command to update the rc.local startup
script so that the modem is automatically configured at each boot.
Substitute x with the IRQ and y with the I/O address recorded in step one.

  echo setserial /dev/ttyS2 uart 16550A irq x port y >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
