I am very new to the linux environment and I need help
I am using fedora core 8 and I would like to setup hylafax on it.
I plugged in the Fax/modem (PCI) to the computer and installed fedora core 8
At this point I have no idea what to do.
I have some knowledge of linux as I have setup my web and mail server
correctly
Thank you for your help.

YourName, YourCountry Fedora release 8 (Werewolf)
Kernel kernel 2.6.25.4-10.fc8
With this Subject Line cogent experts will be alerted, and useful case
names left in the Archive.
YourCountry will enable Country specific guidance. Linux experts in
YourCountry
can be found through: http://www.linux.org/groups/index.html.
They will know your Country's modem code, which may be essential for
dialup service.

===== Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) diagnostics =====
The ALSA packages provide audio support and also drivers for some modems.
ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.
PCI slot 00:05.0 has a High Definition Audio Card
The ALSA verion is 1.0.15
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are: None

High Definition Audio (HDA) cards MAY host a modem chip in their
Subsystem,
and many are supported by the ALSA audio+modem driver snd-hda-intel
A modem was not detected on HDA card 10de:03f0.
If another modem card is present, then most likely 10de:03f0 does not
host a modem.
If another modem card has not been detected, then possibilities are:
1) A Conexant modem chip is present on 10de:03f0, as Conexant chips
are frequently not detectable by ALSA diagnostics
2) The modem may be of the older non-PCI Controller Chipset
(hardware) type.
Try detection with Root permission:
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf

Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives:
1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read DOCs/Conexant.txt
The following ALSA alternative CANNOT work with Conexant modems.
2) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd. Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt for
details, and
to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz from:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/

============ end Smartlink section =====================
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.1.2 and a compiler is not
installed
linux-headers-2.6.25.4-10.fc8 resources needed for compiling are not
manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.1 kernel-source-2.6.25.4-10.fc8
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some
FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed packages.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to
display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Checking pppd properties:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 312332 2006-12-01 07:54 /usr/sbin/pppd
In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html
To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options
lock
In case of a message like:
Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html
Read Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
Don't worry about the following, it is for experts should trouble
shooting be necessary.
