Capisuite is an ISDN-Toolbox with many function. We're looking into sending and receiving faxes in this article. The system is a Suse Linux 9.3, but these steps might be exactly the same on other Linux systems.
Configuration file:
/etc/capisuite/fax.conf
Log file:
/var/log/capisuite.log and
/var/log/capisuite.error
Start capisuite:
/etc/init.d/capisuite start
When changing the configuration (fax.conf), a restart of Capisuite is not required, changes apply instant.
A sample configuration (fax.conf) could look like this:
[GLOBAL]
spool_dir="/var/spool/capisuite/"
fax_user_dir="/var/spool/capisuite/users/"
send_tries="2"
send_delays="60,60,60,300,300,3600,3600,18000,36000"
send_controller="1"
outgoing_timeout="120"
dial_prefix=""
fax_stationID="Your full displayed number"
fax_headline="Your headline"
fax_email_from="Your sender EMail"
[user]
fax_numbers=""
outgoing_MSN="Your full number"
fax_stationID="Same as above"
fax_headline="Your headline"
fax_email="Your Receiver EMail"
fax_action=MailAndSave
The "[
user]" has to be an existing user on the system.
Send a fax:
capisuitefax -d number /path/to/file.pdf
If you use an AVM ISDN card (Fritz Card) and use openSUSE Linux, you'll have to install AVM drivers from this website:
http://opensuse.foehr-it.de/. Use the correct RPM, for example
fcpci-kmp-pae-0.1_2.6.27.7_9.1-0.i586.rpm for Fritz Card PCI with Kernel "2.6.27.7-9-pae". Your
uname -r has to match the driver you install!
