I spent alot of time setting it up, but in the end, the time spent was toward solving one problem which was easy to fix once I knew how. There is alot of support out there for hylafax, and lots of people who have similar experiences in the FBSD archives. My particular setup only involves one modem, both for ppp connection and faxing. My ppp connection is auto-connect, so I have cron check my POP mail every ten minutes - then I have setup my ppp to stay open for ten minutes after the last use (in ppp.conf) Before cron checks the mail, it first checks to see if Hylafax has a fax set to go out. If there's a fax set to go, it never issues the mail check of the POP account, the ppp line goes down, and the fax is sent. Ten minutes later, the ppp line is back up operating continuously. > > Thnx and rgds, > > Kulraj > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "David Banning" <david@www3.pacific-pages.com> > To: "duane jones" <dljones@sccoast.net> > Cc: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> > Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2001 10:27 PM > Subject: Re: None > > > > On Wed, Apr 18, 2001 at 01:34:58PM -0400, duane jones wrote: > > > What i am looking for is,a program that will allow me to provide my own > > > internet service from my home, without having to pay an ISP! can i do > this > > > with FreeBSD > > > Check out our home page at <http://www.rv-camp.com/>; > > > > > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > > > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > > > > I have a dialup line into my home.
