Hello all,
In the Linux world, what tool do I use to communicate with an installed
modem?
I am trying to troubleshoot a problem sending faxes and want to
eliminate the possibility it is the modem hardware.
There is an eight port Rocket modem or something like that installed on
this box running Hylafax.
I would like to "connect" to each modem and test the send capability.
If you know of any commands I could use to test with that would be very
helpful too :-)
Cheers!
I use C-Kermit (available as Debian package ckermit or use checkinstall
to build from the source available at
ftp://ftp.columbia.edu/kermit/test/tar). Also look at
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ for more details.
It is very easy to set up scripts to run as cron jobs to reset modems,
and excellent support is available from the authors and users in the
newsgroup comp.protocols.kermit.misc
