Subj: Re: SupraFAX and FAXes
I'm in the U.S. and though I use a WPL mailer (JamMail) and trashed TrapDoor,
I can give you a way that should definitely work, if your GPFax is v2.33 or
newer amd you know how to write scripts (:>)...
1) Make a script in REXX:, say RunFax.rexx, that reads the following:
/* We need a comment or rx won't think we're an ARexx script. */
address 'REXX_GPFAX'
'openserial'
'fconreceive'
'closeserial'
2) Make sure both TrapDoor and GPFax have SHARED use of the SAME serial device
and unit. (TrapDoor has the command SHARED in its TrapDoor.cfg, and GPFax has
a checkbox in its Environment settings.)
3) Now make sure in your TrapDoor.cfg to have the following options set properly:
FAXSTRING "+FCON"
FAXCOMMAND "rx RunFax"
MODEMINIT "~~AT+FDCC=1,5,0,2,0,0,0,5;+FLID=\"YOUR BBS HERE\";Z|~~~"
MODEMANSWER "~~AT+FAA=1;A|"
Of course you can replace whatever you want in the init/answer AFTER that +F
commands (that is, after the last semicolon in each, where the Z and A are
respectively). Also you can add the name of your BBS or whatever fax ID you
want (up to 24 characters I believe) in the +FLID string.
4) Now, in your BBS loader script, insert the following somewhere:
run >NIL: GPFax:GPFax -S -Q
This will run GPFax in noserial, quiet mode (only the WB icon will appear).
To actually have GPFax's screen open, remove the -Q.
If this method fails to work I see not why - I used this arrangement up until
I switched to JamMail. The most important parts of this method are the setting
of the +F commands in the INIT and ANSWER strings (especially +FAA in the
answer, NOT init string)
.
