  • I use CentOS 4.3(redhat AS4 clone)
  1. I download 40002059_j.src.rpm
    rpmbuild --rebuild 40002059_j.src.rpm
  2. so I make dgdm-1.1-6.i386.rpm
    rpm -ivh dgdm-1.1-6.i386.rpm
  3. but I can see error messages(/var/log/messages)

More information is needed:

  • What signals are shown for the modem port withing dpa.dgdm during the time you cannot fax?

  • What inititialization strings are being sent from efax? Specifically, the hang-up string.

  • Is there a log available within efax that will show debugging information? If so, please post.

efax log and dpa message
You can see inititialization strings in efax log

A couple things stand out to me here.

First of all, in the dgdm.txt file, I see Xon/Xoff (software) flow control set on the port. RTS/CTS (hardware) flow should be used, since that’s what modems should use. This will more than likely be found as a setting option in your fax application config file.

The other thing is the following error message from the efax log:

efax: 13:10 command “DT3099”
efax: 13:10 waiting 120.0 s
efax: 13:12 .609 [NO DIALTONE]
efax: 13:12 response “NO DIALTONE”
efax: 13:12 Error: dial command failed

This tells me that we’re not seeing dialtone, which means either the line is incompatable (PBX line maybe?) or an X0 needs to be added to the init string. Have you tried this on a standard POTS line if one is available?

thank you.
I can send fax with init. string (X0)

Excellent! Glad to hear it and thanks for letting us know how that worked for you :slight_smile:
