This is my config file (now /etc/config.faxCAPI in openSuSE 10.3) without comments:

SpoolDir:               /var/spool/fax
FaxRcvdCmd:             /var/spool/fax/bin/faxrcvd
PollRcvdCmd:             /var/spool/fax/bin/pollrcvd
FaxReceiveUser:         fax
FaxReceiveGroup:        dialout
LogFile:                /var/log/capifax.log
LogTraceLevel:          4
LogFileMode:            0644
{
     HylafaxDeviceName:          faxCAPI
     RecvFileMode:               0644
     FAXNumber:                  +49.xxxx.668518
     LocalIdentifier:            "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
     MaxConcurrentRecvs:         2
     OutgoingController:         1
     OutgoingMSN:                668518
     SuppressMSN:                0
     NumberPrefix:
     UseISDNFaxService:          0
     RingingDuration:            0
     {
         Controller:             1
         AcceptSpeech:           1
         UseDDI:                 0
         DDIOffset:              "12345"
         DDILength:              3
         IncomingDDIs:
         IncomingMSNs:           668518
         AcceptGlobalCall:   1
     }
}

Starting c2faxrecv gives:

asterisk:~ # c2faxrecv -v
The config file is /etc/config.faxCAPI.

C4H-Version 01.03.00 (32Bit).

The SpoolDirectory is /var/spool/fax.
Changed to effective user "fax" and group "dialout" succesfully.

Device "faxCAPI" uses 2 receive thread(s) with the following config:
Controller=1 : IncomingMSNs=668518

Started in Hylafax mode and waiting on incoming calls.


This looks o.k., I think. Nevertheless hylafax doesn't pick up the 668518. The same 
configuration works with an AVM B1. Leaving IncomingMSNs empty (= accept all) also 
doesn't help.
