The info in my post was incorrect as far as hylfax and auto answer goes.
Does it mean auto answer under HylaFax only or auto answer under efax-gtk / efax also.
Is there any specific reason to have mention of HylaFax, when my problem was with use of efax-gtk?
Is it so that if one install both HylaFax and efax, such interference / problem occur?
It may take more time to understand HylaFax, otherwise efax-gtk seems excellent and simple software, fulfilling my requirements.
Do efax has capability to auto-answer?
I could not use efax in console mode to send / receive fax in manual / standby mode, though in manual mode, efax-gtk works fine. Only thing I could not do in efax-gtk, is to have audio signal / pop-up, to alert for incoming fax and run it in standby (auto answer mode).
What is the name of configuration file for efax, while I could figure out configuration file efax-gtk as .efax-gtkrc
Hylfax MUST use it's own process to auto answer. Therfore you must set ATS0=0 followed by AT&W i.e restore modem back to the manual setting.

Please use minicom At the prompt at atS0=3 at&W
Now dial the number
Is it in minicom, or some other software? How it will receive fax in auto-answer mode?
