Q: How do modems interact with efax and ccl scripts to receive calls in 10.5?
I want to do two things:
1) alter the modem init string used for faxing and receiving calls, and
2) alter the RING string to detect and respond to other modem responses during the answer process
The machine in question is a PowerBook G4 with an Apple Internal Modem (V.92) running Leopard 10.5.1.
In searching, it seems that Leoard is using efax as its base fax app. I have located the efax plist in the LaunchDaemons folder. It sends the 'answer' command via the 'fax' app to the 'efax' app. This command is an argument key in the plist.
Now, how do I change the modem init string that is used for the purpose of faxing? Also, how do the modem CCL files interact with this whole process - or do they?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I'm either just googling for the wrong things or there aren't many people looking for this information? Most likely the former...
