Quick Start guide for Debian HylaFAX
====================================

Step 1:  As root, start "faxsetup".


Step 2:  As root, do "faxaddmodem" for every modem that you want to make
available to HylaFAX.


Step 3:  If you want to receive facsimiles, edit your /etc/inittab and add a
faxgetty line for each modem you want to accept calls on.  You might have to
read inittab(5) first.  Once you have appended the faxgetty lines, do "init q"
and watch the syslog - you will see faxgetty's "ready" message(s). Example
with two modems, on /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyS1:

-8<-----------------------------------
S0:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0
S1:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS1
----------------------------------->8-


Step 4:  If you have a send-only environment, edit your /etc/init.d/hylafax
and uncomment/edit the call to faxaddmodem [modem].  Copy that line for
every send-only modem that you have, if it is more than one.  This step is
unnecessary for the modems that are managed by faxgetty.
