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.
