Hi Alex Did you get the answer to your first question ? Did you succeed in using the emulated modem option for taking fax calls to hylafax ? 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. <modem-settings> <param name="total-modems" value="5"/> </modem-settings> What next? Could you point me to some doc in hylafax? (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 :() regards, Anita On Sun, May 6, 2012 at 8:50 PM, Steve Underwood <steveu@coppice.org> wrote:

Hi Alex,
Its the user ID which is causing your problem. If you just add the following <modem-settings> <param name="total-modems" value="5"/> </modem-settings> to your configuration you will get five /dev/FS* devices if you run as root, but none if you run as freeswitch. This ought to be fixed. I think Could a udev rule with user=... (and group=...) perhaps fix that?
the device names are a bit questionable, too. Calling the /dev/FS/modem* or even /dev/FS/t31-* might increase flexibility for the future where more device types might be needed. +1 Its not the actual pts devices which cause problems. Those are happily created with any user name that's tried. It is the /dev/FS* links which won't create unless you are root. I'm not clear how udev can be used to make those creatable by someone like the freeswitch user. If you create a directory /dev/FS, make that writable by all, change FS to create the link as /dev/FS/*, and run as user freeswitch things work OK. However, /dev/FS is lost on reboot, because of the dynamic nature of /dev.
