The directory /sys/lib/fax and the command /rc/bin/fax are full of local refrences. This needs a manual. The machine that has the modem attached should be running a telco with the appropriate dev in the command line. For example, out system dinar has the following in it's cpurc: telco -vs 19200 /dev/eia011 & # FAX Then you should have a cron entry that kicks it ever now and then just like for mail. For example, we have in /cron/upas/cron: 5,15,25,35,45,55 * * * * dinar /sys/lib/fax/faxtickle Now edit /rc/bin/fax and everything in /sys/lib/fax to reflect your local environment. Basicly change everything that mentions emelie into a pointer to your file server. If you only have one system, then just remove from /rc/bin/fax the line: rx dinar /sys/lib/fax/faxgoose with upas/runq -t3 /mail/faxoutqueue /sys/lib/fax/faxtry < /dev/null > /dev/null >[2=1] & A bit of a pain all around. We never got around to making this generic and it fell through the cracks in the release. This is part of why releases are hard. We (i.e. Rob) usually have to go over the system with a fine tooth comb to comb out all this local lice. --upas-udzfgvefgbqfdfjccpljzdnqwv Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Received: from plan9.cs.bell-labs.com ([135.104.9.2]) by plan9; Thu May 31 16:51:36 EDT 2001 Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu ([130.203.4.6]) by plan9; Thu May 31 16:51:35 EDT 2001 Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.18.6]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 468D919A3C; Thu, 31 May 2001 16:50:37 -0400 (EDT) Received: from post.mail.nl.demon.net (post-11.mail.nl.demon.net [194.159.73.21]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 0606D19A23 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Thu, 31 May 2001 16:49:21 -0400 (EDT) Received: from [195.11.248.215] (helo=localhostnl) by post.mail.nl.demon.net with smtp (Exim 3.22 #1) id 155ZNg-000Mir-00 for 9fans@cse.psu.edu; Thu, 31 May 2001 20:49:20 +0000 Received: from wstan by localhostnl with local (Exim 3.12 #1 (Debian)) id 155bAX-00006w-00 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Thu, 31 May 2001 22:43:53 +0000 To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Message-ID: <20010531224353.B389@localhostnl.demon.nl> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i From: William Staniewicz Subject: [9fans] Fax problem Sender: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu Errors-To: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu X-BeenThere: 9fans@cse.psu.edu X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.1 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu List-Id: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans.cse.psu.edu> List-Archive: Date: Thu, 31 May 2001 22:43:53 +0000 I never tried faxing before.
