Hi!
Goal: Get Hylafax to send and recieve faxes on my old IBM R40 notebook with built in modem (ICH4 AC97).
What I've tried so far:
1. sl-modem-daemon with alsa-driver (snd-intel8x0m)
2. sl-modem-daemon with soft link-driver (slamr)
1. In the first case I get the modem working fine and well, except that incoming calls are ignored (no RING-messages in minicom). I read somewhere that this is known to be the case with the above mentioned driver. Which is what got me to try out the soft link-driver.
2. In the second case, I get everything working, until I reboot or restart the sl-modem-daemon (e.g. after setting my country). If I don't restart/reboot, minicom can both connect to the modem as well as show the RING message when I call it from my cell. After reboot/restart, sl-modem-daemon dies a second or two after it has been started, even though there's no error messages.
Any ideas as to what I can do about this, or how I can reach my goal? Any help appreciated! =)
Code:
# /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon start

Creating /dev/modem symlink, pointing to: /dev/ttySL0.
