Fax modems may +reside on a single machine on a network and clients can submit +an outbound job from any other machine on the network. + +Client software is designed to be lightweight and easy to port. + + +If you need to start hylafax at boot +edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add the lines: + +script: +# Starting the HylaFAX hfaxd and faxq Daemons at Boot. + if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.hylafax ]; then + /etc/rc.d/rc.hylafax start + fi + +Edit /etc/inittab and add a line(s) similar to: + +m0:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0 + +where 'm0' is unique in inittab and 'ttyS0' matches the device +name(s) used at the outset of the faxaddmodem script. + +With root permissions, execute '/usr/sbin/faxsetup'. +When finished, faxsetup will automatically run faxaddmodem +for you. Generally, you can follow all of the defaults +except those for FaxMaster, the local fax number(s), TSI, +and any modem-specific information in faxaddmodem. + +It would be wise to run faxcron and faxqclean regularly +from cron so that the queue directories do not clutter +up and fill the storage device. Many installations run +faxqclean every hour and faxcron every day. Insert +something like this into your uucp or root crontab file: + +0 * * * * /usr/sbin/faxqclean +0 0 * * * /usr/sbin/faxcron | mail -s "HylaFAX Usage Report" faxmaster |
