As differences among some program's actions can probably be somehow
|
|
|
|
|
cryptic to a new user, I'll report an upstream's simple explanation:
|
|
|
|
|
"""If you want to wait for a fax, use "Standby". 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-3.0.18/README for other operating instructions. See
|
2010-05-11 22:54:45 +02:00
|
|
|
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").
