Hi Alex<br><br>Did you get the answer to your first question ? Did you succeed in using the emulated modem option for taking fax calls to hylafax ?<br><br>I put the following in spandsp.conf.xml and got /dev/FS[0-4] devices as soft links to /dev/pts/[4-8]. My freeswitch is running as root user so I did not face the issue you did. <br>
<br> <modem-settings><br> <param name="total-modems" value="5"/><br></modem-settings><br><br>What next? Could you point me to some doc in hylafax?<br><br>(And before Steve lashes out at me again, I must clarify, I do not want to just play around, but my boss is clueless and wants me to evaluate hylafax :()<br>
<br clear="all">regards,<br>Anita<br><br>

</div>Its not the actual pts devices which cause problems. Those are happily<br>
created with any user name that's tried. It is the /dev/FS* links which<br>
won't create unless you are root. I'm not clear how udev can be used to<br>
make those creatable by someone like the freeswitch user. If you create<br>
a directory /dev/FS, make that writable by all, change FS to create the<br>
link as /dev/FS/*, and run as user freeswitch things work OK. However,<br>
/dev/FS is lost on reboot, because of the dynamic nature of /dev.<br>
