I've got the HylaFAX package installed on OpenSUSE 11.0. The installation worked fine. The modem installation looks OK. I can dial out using minicom. What happens when I send a FAX is that the job is immediately moved from the sendq directory into doneq. What I see in the "q<jobno>" file is:
Code:
.
.
.
ntries:0
ndials:0
totdials:0
maxdials:12
tottries:0
maxtries:0
.
.
.
status:REJECT: Too many attempts to transmit: 0, max 0
statuscode:334
.
.
.
As near as I can figure out, the fax job is being aborted because the maximum number of attempts to send the job was "0". According to the hylafax-config man page, maxtries should be "3". I've set MaxTries to "10" in /var/spool/fax/etc/config, bounced HylaFAX, and get the same result: no FAX sent.
I have set SpeakerVolume to "MEDIUM" so I can hear whether the modem is even being accessed and I assume it's not since I never hear the dial tone or any dialing taking place.
After a bouncing HylaFAX and getting a failed FAX transmission, the following stuff is dumped in /var/log/messages:

(BTW, this comes having set ServerTracing to "0x1EBBD".)
I've been using "sendfax -v -v" to see all the details of what's taking place when the job is created but don't see
anything that appears to be an error. The "/var/spool/fax/log" directory is empty.
Anyone know what the above message means or where else to look when a FAX doesn't get sent?
Am I changing the correct parameter to address the "max 0" indication that I'm seeing?
Added: The modem is a US Robotics Sportster 28,800. I've tried setting it up as a Class 2.0 as well as Class 1 modem. Same results either way. Attempts to send a FAX don't seem to even get to the point where it's touching the modem. (No blinkenlights are seen.)
Update 2: Added "-t 3" -- which, according to the man page should force three attempts to send -- to the wrapper script I've been using to test and the same error message is being seen. I'm beginning to wonder if HylaFAX works at all.
TIA...
