Title
A KDE-based facsimile utility for ELSA MicroLink Office modems

KMLOFax is a KDE-based utility to process facsimiles received with a modem of the ELSA MicroLink Office family.

The modems of the ELSA MicroLink Office family have a flash memory for fax and voice reception without PC. They can store up to 70 facsimile pages. For more information about these modems visit the Home Page of the Neue ELSA GmbH, please.

KMLOFax can load the facsimiles from the modem into files on your local data directory. You can view the contents of those files on your screen or send them as PostScript® to your printer. Moreover received facsimiles can be sent as email.

Roadmap

Plannings for future releases

The ELSA AG in Aachen, Germany, is out of business. It seems that the Neue ELSA GmbH will take over the MicroLink Office products. In spite of this bankruptcy there will be updates for KMLOFax from time to time in the future. Currently I'm revising the printing system of KMLOFax. The next version will use the standard KDE printing system.


Technical tips

The ELSA MicroLink ISDN Office and Linux®

Connection to an internet service provider

The MicroLink ISDN Office is an ISDN terminaladaptor with serial and USB interface. It behaves like a normal analog modem with extended AT command set. Thus the connection to an internet service provider can be done like it would be a modem. If your provider doesn't support the protocol X.75 on the B-channel, which can be noticed by the message "NO CARRIER" after dialing, you can try the modem command AT$IBP=HDLCP for modem initialization.

The USB interface

The MicroLink ISDN Office conforms to the Universal Serial Bus Communication Device Class Abstract Control Model (USB CDC ACM). Thus it can be used also under Linux® both with the serial interface and through the USB interface.

Under Linux® with kernel version 2.4 it is done with the ACM driver. The following kernel modules have to be loaded:

The MicroLink ISDN Office then can be accessed over the special file /dev/usb/ttyACM0. If this file does not exist, you can create it with mknod /dev/usb/ttyACM0 c 166 0. Please consider the access rights of the users.

Fax-processing

The reception of facsimiles is done without PC. The received facsimiles can be processed with KMLOFax version 2.1 or higher. The sending of facsimiles doesn't work yet because the MicroLink ISDN Office doesn't understand class 1 or class 2 fax commands. Alternatively you can connect an analog fax modem to one of the analog telephone ports.
