Lets first look at your command:
-P faxser:test-fax looks very Posix-style server:destination
Seems you have a MFP and you are using its print server functionalities. (Its configured in your unix print spooler...)
Q:
what port are you using ( e.g HP jetdirect uses 9100 etc...)- Is it opened to the outside world (firewall...)
Normally a fax is a device connected to a modem, and so you will have to dial a phone number unless its also a MFP in which case there is hope (and lots of configuration/testing to do...)
Do you know of any good and inexpensive Fax Software Package that can run on Unix and AIX? I will be using an external Modem attach to one of the system's serial port. I will be using it for sending faxes “only”
Thanks for your help (1 Reply)

At the company where I work, use a product called VSI-FAX. It works nicely, but the maintenance has proven to be very poor grade. So, I'm interested in any experiences using other fax servers that run on Linux or AIX and what issues/gotchas were run into and overcome and how.

Our HP 11.11 is networked to several printers with fax capabilities.
Is it possible to send a file to be faxed by the printer?
I know that RICOH offers a Java API, but that costs 4500 for 1yr membership and 3000 every year after that.
Thanks. (3 Replies)
I need a script that would email me when the fax queue goes down. How would I go about doing this? Our fax queue drops a few times a week and if I don't catch it fairly quickly it gets backed up really fast which makes the users a little unhappy...

faxanswer
FAXANSWER(8) System Manager's Manual FAXANSWER(8)NAME
faxanswer - tell a HylaFAX server to answer the telephone
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/faxanswer [ -q queue-dir ] [ -h how ] modem
DESCRIPTION
faxanswer sends a message to the HylaFAX faxgetty(8) process servicing modem telling it to answer the telephone. This is useful, for exam-
ple, when a modem is used on a shared phone line and the server is configured to not normally answer the phone.
The specified modem can either be the name (typically the last component of the terminal port the modem is attached to), or the full name
of the associated FIFO named pipe file, e.g. ``FIFO.ttym2''.
OPTIONS -q dir Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/hylafax.
-h Specify exactly how the phone should be answered. By default, the server process is instructed to answer the phone and accept
any kind of call (voice, data, fax). Discrimination of the type of call is dependent on a modem's adaptive-answer support. The
-h option can be used to force the server to answer the phone for particular type of call: one of fax, data, voice, any, extern
(to force faxgetty to invoke an external application to to handle the call), or dialX (where X is a dialstring to dial before
initiating a fax reception). If using dialX, the specified dialstring will likely need to end with a semicolon (``;'').
FILES
/var/spool/hylafax default spooling area
/var/spool/hylafax/FIFO fifo for contacting faxq
Consult hylafax-server(5) for a complete discussion of the structure and content of the spooling area.
