I've adept-installed efax-gtk; it appears in the KDE Office applications menu. On first start-up I'm presented with an initial dialog window. The message pane displays "Socket running on port 9900". I'd like to go into standby (i.e. automatic receive) mode, so I click the "Standby" button. The message pane comes alive with the following 'endless-loop' message sequence: efax-0.9a: 53:41 opened /dev/ttyS0 efax-0.9a: 53:44 using U.S. Robotics 56K Pro Msg Ext 14.2.15 U.S. Robotics Inc. 56.0 Voice OK OK in class 2.0 efax-0.9a: 53:46 Error: modem command (S0=1) failed efax-0.9a: 53:47 finished - invalid modem response .... I'm lost so I click "Stop", hoping to break the unending message cycle. Now the message pane reads: *** Stopping send/receive session *** efax-0.9a: 53:03 Warning: unexpected response "OK". Being rather a newbie, I ask: Is there a way out of this? Can anyone help? I sure would be thankful. john (Kubuntu 6.06 LTS, Intel P4, 512MB ram) Ylan Segal wrote: <pre wrap="">Currently, I am using efax-gtk to send and receive faxes. It's a gnome application but I just let adept install all the dependencies and it works just fine. Try it and see if you like it (I guess you will if your fax volume is low, as you stated). </pre> <blockquote cite="mideje5h7$bq6$1@sea.gmane.org" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">john d. herron wrote: In Windows, WinFax Pro is the fax software I've been using - via a USRobotics external (serial) modem - to handle the no more than 10 or so fax messages exchanged every year.
