Setup of hylafax+ on openSUSE
----------------------------

After installation of hylafax you need to run 
faxsetup
answer the questions and modify to your needs.

Run 
faxaddmodem
for each attached modem. It asks you for the device, leave out the /dev prefix; 
only enter eg. modem, ttyS0 or such things. 
Answer the other questions, important ones could be the ringtones, max pages, 
permissions on files or your the name that should be shown.

Setting up hylafax for systemd
------------------------------

hylafax comes with three systemd service files. The first two are needed when 
you want to send faxes from your server:

hylafax-hfaxd.service - the hylafax server
hylafax-faxq.service - the fax scheduler

Enable systemd service for the daemons. They will start at boot time:

systemctl enable hylafax-hfaxd.service
systemctl enable hylafax-faxq.service

Receiving faxes
---------------

In case you want to receive faxes as well, a TEMPLATE is attached for starting 
faxgetty on a modem on ttyS0:
hylafax-faxgetty-ttyS0.service
Please use this template and modify it according to the interface(s) the modem 
is attached to. You need to have one service file per modem.

The Template is in /usr/lib/systemd/system

Enable systemd service for the faxgetty-daemon:

systemctl enable hylafax-faxgetty-ttyS0.service
systemctl start hylafax-faxgetty-ttyS0.service

Send-only environment
---------------------

Many installations run hylafax just for sending faxes. To get this up and running, the command 
faxmodem
needs to run after hylafax is started.
In a systemd environment, it is easiest to add additional configuration for systemd.
Create a directory
/etc/systemd/system/hylafax-hfaxd.service.d
and copy the file sendonly.conf into this directory.
Check that the mentioned port (ttyS0 - Parameter is the device the modem is attached 
to) in this file matches your configuration and restart the service.
