Just installed hylafax from contribs and the install when through ok, however, when running the "faxaddmodem", "faxaddmodem" can't communicate with my modem. The modem is a USR 5686-05R external modem. (Also tried the "-s" option and set static speed manually)
To troubleshoot and verify the modem is operating properly for SME7, I installed "minicom" and am able to initialize the modem and dial out to a working phone number sucessfully. The external modem is connected to COM1 which is /dev/ttyS0.
Not sure how to troubleshoot further. Any help would be appreciated.

So your problem is not in your SME server.
Maybe it's a Hylafax bug... but is not an SME bug. Maybe try at Hylafax forums.

Thanks for reply. I found the answer. So, for other people who might run into the same problem here's the answer. Use the dip switch config on the USR 5686 modem as follows: 1,4,6,8 up and 2,4,5,7 down. After setting the switches in this config instead of the default I found in the manual for this modem, the "faxaddmodem" was able to probe the modem sucessfully.
