If the line is already +ringing, use "Answer call". If you have already answered the call by +picking up a handset connected to the modem, use "Take over call". +""" --efax-gtk's author, from efax-gtk-general mailing-list + +IMPORTANT: This program is intended to be used as a 'user'. Before running +the program, please copy configuration file /etc/efax-gtkrc (global +settings) into your fax-using user(s) $HOME as ".efax-gtkrc", and modify +it according to your own device's features and your preferences. Almost all +per-user settings can be later modified from within the program, too. + +If you want a LOG file (really important, as the program does not save fax +trasmission results otherwise at the moment), modify your configuration file +inserting the absolute path of the file you want as logfile (do not use +environment variables, as they are not supported). + +For serial modems/faxes: you need to add your fax-using user(s) to "uucp" +group, so that serial device file (i.e. /dev/ttyS[0-9]) is accessible. +For other modem/fax devices: make sure the relevant device files are +accessible to your user(s) for reading/writing, as well. + +To avoid too much crowd in users' $HOME directory, this package uses a +custom working directory ("$HOME/.efax-gtk") to contain most of files and +directories efax-gtk uses (e.g. fax sent/received, address book, other +service files). In case of package's upgrade, in order to avoid malfunction +problems or data loss, please verify if these files are in the right +location, otherwise move them accordingly. + +Read /usr/doc/efax-gtk-3.0.17/README for other operating instructions. See +your modem/fax manual for potentially needed AT modem strings and commands. +For fax trasmission's debugging purpose, you may have to insert special +parameters in configuration file for efax backend (see "man efax"). |
