Topic: HylaFAX & SME7 - latest install and tarball

[mojo]

Chaloner,
First I wish to thank you and the rest of the community for all your hard work and also being very helpful. I have learned much from you folks.

This thread is about HylaFAX for SME7. THis is what it works on. HylaFAX also works on every previous version of SME, but the tarball referenced is only for SME7.

It can be installed in under 5 minutes. If it is taking you longer then something else is wrong...

I am installing your contrib on vanilla SME7 only updated via the server-manager link.
I am able to receive faxes fine. However, I have yet to install your relayfax contrib, wasn't going to continue unless the "Warning: /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts does not exist or is not a directory" is a non-issue.

Thanks Again

Well it should work in minutes, with no errors or warnings. Was there previous versions or attempts of HylaFAX installed?

Email me at email@chaloner.ca and I can sort it out, surely in a few minutes...

Is this the same model # MT5634ZPX-PCI-U  you are using ?

Yes, but there are 2 flavors of it. The V.90 is nice but is not a G3 fax. The V.92 version is the big dog, the G3 version... looks the same...but it is not...

To have the G3 features you must be sure the one you get is the V.92 version...

Hi all,
I'm trying to install hylafax on sme 7 but i have a few questions:

1- in your FTP I find these 3 files,
File: hylafax-4.3.0-2-SME7.tar
File: hylafaxSME7files.tar
File: hylafaxSME7rpms.tar
Do i have to download all 3? (I downloaded all 3!)

2- when I run:
# tar -xvf *.tar
I get an error:

tar: hylafaxSME7files.tar: Non trovato nell'archivio
tar: hylafaxSME7rpms.tar: Non trovato nell'archivio
tar: Uscita per errore ritardata dall'errore precedente

what's wrong?

I had problems whatching faxes using Frog Fax Mail - i used to get :

"Operation not permitted"

doing :

chmod 0666 /var/spool/hylafax/recvq/*

solved the problem.

Does anyone can provide a link to the latest relayfax scripts that works with SME 7.0 Final btw I've searched chaloner site and ftp but have found only client install and no scripts

What external modems are you trying with hylafax?
In two installations I tried my US Robotics sportster, it detects the modem, gives me the ring sinal but it does not work.

Code: [Select]

Oct 23 00:41:30 server FaxGetty[4656]: MODEM U.S. ROBOTICS 33600 FAX V4.11.3 3362/

Brick,
I'm looking into trying Hylafax as well and noticed your post.
I found this list http://www.hylafax.org/content/Hardware_Compatibility_List that does not show many types of modems.  

[Franco]

I used to use an external USR V.Everything Courier modem. It worked well and I used the same for many clients for a long time... Do not use a Sportster for any reason...

I have just installed hylafax on the test server and would like to know what people think is the best client software to use with hylafax or what setup is best for sending and recieving faxes.

I have downloaded .... Frogfaxmail ... relatfax and hyfax ... have not tested any as yet ... testing will start tomorrow.

Also I'm looking for documentation on how to setup incoming faxes to get e-mailed straight to the correct people ... is this possible.

Any help would be great.

Regards,

Tib

Hi

I prefer WinPrintHylaFAX to send and receive in PDF format on e-mail.

Can the relayfax for SME7 script be posted here?

[chris.tsui]

i try to install with sme7.0 but also get the same problem. do u have any idea?

When running faxsetup I get the following error

Warning: /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts does not exist or is not a directory!

The directory /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts does not exist or this file is not a directory.
This is the directory where the HylaFAX client applications expect to
locate font metric information to use in formatting ASCII text for
submission as facsimile.  Without this information HylaFAX may generate
illegible facsimile from ASCII text.


I have tried
yum --enablerepo=base install ghostscript-fonts
only to get message

Nothing to do

Thanks
