NAME

       modem - switch the modem and getty state

SYNOPSIS

       modem [-o] [-i num] ttyn

OPTIONS

       -o     Turn getty off and set modem to dialout

       -i     Set line to dialin

EXAMPLES

       modem -o tty00	   # Set tty00 to dialout

       modem -i2 tty00	   # Set tty00 to dialin (2 rings)

DESCRIPTION

       The  getty  program  allows a terminal port to be used for both dialin and dialout.  This little program switches the getty state, and also
       sends some commands to the modem attached to the specified line.  If the -o flag is presnt, modem will put the getty process (if any)  con-
       nected  to  the	specified  line  into  SUSPEND state, which means that it will not pay attention to that line until it is reset to RESTART
       state.  Also, modem will send some (Hayes) commands to the attached modem to disable the auto-nanswer mode.  The -i flag specifies the num-
       ber of times the telephone has to ring before the modem may answer the call (to give the operator a chance).

NAME

       faxstate - control ``modem state'' of a device used by HylaFAX

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/faxstate [ -q queue-dir ] [ -s state ] [ -n ] modem

DESCRIPTION

       faxstate  sends  a  message  to  the  HylaFAX  faxgetty(8) process servicing modem telling it to use the specified state when notifying the
       HylaFAX scheduler that a modem is ready and available for use.  This is useful for controlling outbound  use  of  a  modem;  by  marking  a
       modem's state as busy or down the HylaFAX scheduler will not assign any outbound jobs to the modem.

       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''.

       If the -n option, faxstate emulates what faxgetty would do; sending a message directly to the faxq  process  marking  the  specified  modem
       down,  busy,  or  ready.   This  interface is useful for send-only environments in which faxgetty processes are not used.  Note that modems
       manipulated in this way must previously have been configured with the faxmodem(8) program.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -n        Contact faxq directly instead of faxgetty.

       -q dir    Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/hylafax.

       -s        Specify the state to send the faxq process each time the modem becomes ready for use; one of ``busy'', ``down'',  and  ``ready''.
                 The default state to use is ready.

FILES
