NAME

       tcpser - emulate a Hayes compatible modem

SYNOPSIS

       tcpser -d dev -s speed [-l log_level -t tracing_options] ...
       tcpser -v port [-l log_level -t tracing_options] ...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the tcpser command.

       tcpser  turns  a  PC serial port into an emulated Hayes compatible modem that uses TCP/IP for incoming and outgoing connections.  It can be
       used to allow older applications and systems designed for modem use to operate on the Internet.	tcpser supports all  standard  Hayes  com-
       mands,  and  understands extended and vendor proprietary commands (though it does not implement many of them).  tcpser can be used for both
       inbound and outbound connections.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       -h     Show summary of options.

       -p     Port to listen on (defaults to 6400).

       -t     Trace flags: (can be combined)
		 s	modem input
		 S	modem output
		 i	IP input
		 I	IP output

       -l     Log level: 0 (NONE), 1 (FATAL) - 7 (DEBUG_X) (defaults to 0).

       -L     Log file (defaults to stderr).

       The following can be repeated for each modem desired (-s, -S, and -i will apply to any subsequent device if not set again):

       -d     Serial device (e.g. /dev/ttyS0).	Cannot be used with -v

       -v     TCP port for VICE RS232 (e.g. 25232). Cannot be used with -d

       -s     Serial port speed (defaults to 38400).

       -S     Speed modem will report (defaults to -s value).

       -I     Invert DCD pin.

       -n     Add phone entry (number=replacement).

       -a     Filename to send to local side upon answer.

       -A     Filename to send to remote side upon answer.

       -c     Filename to send to local side upon connect.

       -C     Filename to send to remote side upon connect.

       -N     Filename to send when no answer.

       -B     Filename to send when modem(s) busy.

       -T     Filename to send upon inactivity timeout.

       -i     Modem init string (defaults to `', leave off `at' prefix when specifying).

       -D     Direct connection (follow with hostname:port for caller, : for receiver).

FAXANSWER(8)                                                  System Manager's Manual                                                 FAXANSWER(8)

NAME

       faxanswer - tell a HylaFAX server to answer the telephone

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/faxanswer [ -q queue-dir ] [ -h how ] modem

DESCRIPTION

       faxanswer sends a message to the HylaFAX faxgetty(8) process servicing modem telling it to answer the telephone.  This is useful, for exam-
       ple, when a modem is used on a shared phone line and the server is configured to not normally answer the phone.

       The specified modem can either be the name (typically the last component of the terminal port the modem is attached to), or the  full  name
       of the associated FIFO named pipe file, e.g. ``FIFO.ttym2''.

OPTIONS

       -q dir    Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/hylafax.

       -h        Specify  exactly  how  the phone should be answered.  By default, the server process is instructed to answer the phone and accept
                 any kind of call (voice, data, fax).  Discrimination of the type of call is dependent on a modem's adaptive-answer support.   The
                 -h  option  can be used to force the server to answer the phone for particular type of call: one of fax, data, voice, any, extern
                 (to force faxgetty to invoke an external application to to handle the call), or dialX (where X is a  dialstring  to  dial  before
                 initiating a fax reception).  If using dialX, the specified dialstring will likely need to end with a semicolon (``;'').

FILES

       /var/spool/hylafax                 default spooling area
       /var/spool/hylafax/FIFO            fifo for contacting faxq

       Consult hylafax-server(5) for a complete discussion of the structure and content of the spooling area.
