FAXANSWER(8C)					    FAXANSWER(8C)

NAME
       faxanswer - tell a HylaFAX server to answer the telephone

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/contrib/bin/faxanswer  [  -q  queue-dir  ] [ -h how ]
       modem

DESCRIPTION
       faxanswer sends a message to the HylaFAX faxgetty(8C) pro-
       cess  servicing	modem telling it to answer the telephone.
       This is useful, for example, when a modem  is  used  on	a
       shared phone line and the server is configured to not nor-
       mally 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/fax.

       -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,  or  extern  (to	force faxgetty to
		 invoke an external application to to handle  the
		 call).

FILES
       /var/spool/fax		      default spooling area
       /var/spool/fax/FIFO	      fifo for contacting faxq

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