Receive faxes using a non-Apple modem
Nobody answered the question how to edit /etc/efax.rc apparently.
First you should know that /usr/bin/fax is a shell script where you can look up all kinds of parameters useful for your /etc/efax.rc. But of course you should not edit this file. I would recommend to at least add the following lines to efax.rc:
The first line adds the device you would have to lookup for yourself in /dev (in my case it is an old Elsa Microlink 56k USB Modem).The second line sets the Fax Class your Modem supports. I think the Apple default sets Fax Class 1 which is not preferable if your Modem speaks Class 2. The Logs go to /var/log/fax/tty.usbmodem1B11.log It is important to test Fax receiving a couple of times to see if it works properly or if the modem would stop speaking to the computer at some point.
Receive faxes using a USB Mobile Phone
Mac OS X 10.3.9 and Motorola v325 Verizon Wireless connected via USB I don't seem to have a problem sending a fax from the Print dialog, but I am unclear on how to get the phone to pick up to receive an incoming fax. I set everything up on the Mac: I then changed the phone setting Incoming Call, Next Call = Fax In Only. When I try to receive the incoming fax, the phone just rings and displays FAX IN, but the Mac never answers. What am I missing? |
