The info in my post was incorrect as far as hylfax and auto answer goes.
Does it mean auto answer under HylaFax only
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?
I missed the efax-gtkrc in your 2nd mail. the first does not state any fax prog and I assumed hylafax.
Is it so that if one install both HylaFax and efax, such interference / problem occur?
Possible
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?
Yes. efax -d /dev/ttyXY -w -iS0=4
S0=4 means autoanswer on 4th ring. Your efax-gtkrc with S0=3 should have worked. It is also possible that the modem is not recognising your incoming ring, in which case you have to set several params in the modem for ring frequency and cadence. Start minicom and dial your fax number. minicom should display RING.
