Perfect, now you have only to write at the end of file /etc/inittab the following string:
mo:35:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty /dev/ttyS1 # I've my modem on com2 and hence ttyS1
If you want able all clients of your lan and send fax modify the file:
/var/spool/hylafax/etc/hosts.hfaxd
writing how is following:
localhost
192.168.1 #I have the computer with ip 192.168.1.1 and hence the lan of belonging will be
how I've written.
Now is possible send fax writing:
hylafax start && faxmodem ttyS1
You can insert this string at the end of file /etc/rc.d/rc.local so, it will be sent at restart of computer without doing write the row every time.
To send a fax write:
sendfax -n -d telephonenumber file
If you want use a graphic client on linux, download gnu.hylafax (works on java), or
pyla1.0.7.tgz
(works on python) or for computers with Windows Operating System download Whfc or
winflex.
About pyla, you need to unzip it (tar zxvf pyla1.0.7.tgz) and to launch it, write:
python /yourhome/pyla/pyla.py
