Hi,
this is the mgetty+sendfax distribution. It contains programs to
send and receive faxes in a unix environment using a class 2 fax-
modem.
For detailed informations how everything works and how to build
and use it, see the file "mgetty.texi" (in doc/, see below)
If you can access the WWW, you might try looking at http://al-
pha.greenie.net/mgetty/index.html, or http://www.leo.org/~doer-
ing/mgetty/index.html. You'll find all the documentation and the
FAQ nicely formatted there.
For voice stuff, look into voice/doc/readme.Beginners.
My license policy boils down to this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mgetty+Sendfax was written by Gert Doering, with many contribu-
tions from the Internet.
Vgetty was written by Klaus Weidner, Marc Eberhard, Marc Schaefer
and also many contributions from the Internet community.
The whole package, starting with version 1.1.22, is distributed
under the GNU GPL license, found in the accompanying file 'COPY-
ING'.
If you want to redistribute mgetty under a different license
(like in "selling it to your customers"), contact me, and we will
work something out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
To make the programs, copy "policy.h-dist" to "policy.h", edit it
according to your needs. Then edit "Makefile" to set CC=,
CCFLAGS= and the various xxxDIR= (LIB/MAN/BIN/SBINDIR) to fit
your system. After that, running "make" should do. "Make" will
also create the "mgetty.texi"-File in "doc/".
If you upgrade from a previous version, it may be a good idea to
make a "diff" from the original policy.h-dist and the policy.h
used later, and use that as a base for configuring policy.h of
this release.
Most of the options set in "policy.h" can be changed at run-time
from the "mgetty.config" configuration file. Policy.h controls
where that will be.
With C-Compilers that do not understand the "#ident" directive,
give the "make noident" command before using the "make" command
for the first time.
Run "make testdisk" to see if the disk statistics grabber works
(it should report the correct block free count for the partitions
containing "/" and ".". If not, consult getdisk.c, taking spe-
cial note of the "v*" defines for hints as to which settings you
use. If your system is one of the "v*", try defining that "v*"
macro in the Makefile CCFLAGS. Please let us know what works,
and what your C compiler uses to identify your computer.
Finally, "make install".
If you have any problems, suggestions or bug reports, please con-
tact gert@greenie.muc.de or gert@space.net (greenie preferred!) -
but make sure you have read the documentation first! I get quite
annoyed when I have to answer the same questions for the 99th
time! Read "BUGS"!
Generic questions ("it doesn't work") should go to the mgetty
mailing list (mgetty@muc.de), because I just don't have time to
explain it all again and again.
And... please do not forget that I'm doing this kind of support
entirely in my spare time - sometimes my answers will be very
short, or it may take a long time for me to answer - since some-
times I need my time to make a living...
Now... have fun & fax!
