Good Day
I have installed Hylafax onto SME 7.3, the installtion went well, but all the configuration documentation talks about a external fax modem, these are almost impossible to get now a days.
What part of the world are you from? My local office supply store carries several external modems on their shelves and I have never had problems getting external modems.
I installed a Internal Fax/Modem, and I am not sure how to go about configuring hylafax to use it, I have looked at the hylafax website.??
If anybody has done it please tell me how to configure the internal card...
Cheers
Most internal modems are not true modems, they are winmodems and require Windows to operate (thus the "win" in winmodem). Winmodems will not work with Linux/Hylafax unless you load the correct Linux-winmodem (hack) drivers and your chances of them working well is slim.
Even some "real" internal modems don't work well with Hylafax. I have several Hylafax machines and at one time tried some internal modems and had poor results (lots of dropped pages and even dropped connections). As soon as I switched to external modems all my problems disappeared.
I would highly suggest that you search high and wide for an external modem but if you really want to try and use an internal modem you need to go here
www.modemsite.com and determine what type of modem you have.
If it is a "software" based modem (like a Winmodems, Soft Modems, HSP Modems, AMR Modems, and many USB modems) then you are out of luck, it just won't work.
If it is a "hardware" based modem (like Conexant/Rockwell ACF, Lucent/Agere Venus, Many USR models) then you may be able to get it to work.
