Hello all, I'm having a problem with Hylafax V4.0pl0 and sharing a modem with outgoing calls. It seems that the DTR isn't being dropped when the program (cu and ppp) using the modem for outgoing data quits. System info: Basic Pentium System FreeBSD-2.2 current Hayes Optima business class modem Hylafax V4.0pl0 using "/dev/cuaa2" After starting all the Hylafax programs (faxq, hfaxd and faxgetty) I can run "cu -l /dev/cuaa2" and do whatever. After quitting cu with "~.", the DTR is not dropped (as seen by the TR light on the modem) and the modem stays connected. After waiting a few seconds it seems faxgetty starts going again and the DTR is dropped and faxgetty reinits the modem. So, if I run "cu -l /dev/cuaa2" and connect to somewhere, quit with "~." and then rerun "cu -l /dev/cuaa2" immediately, it will still be connected from the previous "cu". If I now exit the second "cu" with "~." the DTR is dropped and the modem disconnects. Now the dropping of the DTR works until faxgetty starts up again. Once faxgetty starts up again its back to square one. So, it seems to take a second program to open and close "/dev/cuaa2" for the DTR to drop. Even running something like "cu -l /dev/cuaa2;cat < /dev/null > /dev/cuaa2" will drop the DTR when the "cat" quits instead of the "cu". Everything else works. I can send and receive faxes and use the modem for outgoing and incoming data just fine. It just won't drop DTR after an outgoing data call. I have tried running faxgetty on "/dev/ttyd2" instead of "/dev/cuaa2". Sending and receiving faxes seem to work, but everything that tries to use "/dev/cuaa2" can't open it and reports a "Line Busy" error. Any ideas? Thanks, George ---------------------------------- George Simunovich <george@cia-g.com>
