PROBEMODEM(8)						      System Manager's Manual						     PROBEMODEM(8)

NAME

       probemodem - check modem and report the result of certain commands

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/probemodem [-f] [-c AT_COMMAND] [-s SPEED] [ttyname]

DESCRIPTION

       The probemodem script checks a modem attached to a serial line and reports the results of certain commands.

       The ttyname argument is the name of the tty port that the modem is attached to.

       This  manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program does not have
       a manual page.

OPTIONS

       -f     Do not use the command fuser in order to check if other processes are using the tty ttyname and kill them

       -c AT_COMMAND
	      Specify a string to be sent to the modem instead of "AT+FCLASS=?"

       -s speed
	      Set the speed to use for the ttyname port

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

       Consult hylafax-server(5) for a complete discussion of the structure and content of the spooling area.
