Hylafax test
« on: August 12, 2005, 01:26:58 PM »
Hi All,

I have installed Hylafax and would like to test it, can anyone tell me if it is possible to send a test fax from the command line? I want to be sure that the server side works before I try any clients. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Del  :-)

If you still have the question after carefully reading the Hylafax documentation, then you'd be better off asking your question in a Hylafax specific forum. Few people here know the details of Hylafax.

Try:

sendfax -n -D -d xxx-xxxx testpage

where xxx-xxxx  is the phone number to send the fax to

and

testpage is a simple text file you can create with vi

vi testpage
(i) to insert
type whatever you want (This is a fax test page)
ctrl-x  to save

cheers
