[sendpage-devel] Sendpage Dialing Problems

[Walt W. <wd...@gm...>]

Hello there all.

1) I have RHEL5 64 bit running on a Dell server. The server has an internal
PCIE 56k faxmodem. I also tried an external USR Sportster modem.

2) I am able to cleanly install the sendpage package with the required Perl
modules. The daemon starts up correctly and accepts pages correctly from the
command line and my Zenoss monitoring server.

3) Everything works fine until sendpage proceeds to dial. I get the
following error message:
       sendpage[30748]: Failed to dial modem
       sendpage[30748]: proto startup failed (Could not dial out)

4) I am able to dial my office phone through either modem with minicom. I
know both modems work. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I've even
read the Perl code hoping I might find something to indicate a had a system
issue. The modemtest perl script appears to be successful when running. I've
included an abbreviated config below.

[modem:sportster]
dev=/dev/modem
baud=2400
areacode=555
dialwait=20
[pc:propage]
phonenum=1234567
#stricttap=true
[recip:pager_wdw]
dest    =       @propage
I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!
