You've got a lot more stuff in here than I've got in mine. I suggest
that you take out:

    AdaptiveAnswer
    AnswerRotary
    ModemAnswerDataCmd
    ModemAnswerFaxCmd
    Class1RecvIdentTimer

My understanding of the docs for "AdaptiveAnswer" and "AnswerRotary"
is that it's a kludge if something doesn't quite work properly. It also
may be that your Fax-modem needs to lock the transfer rate to
something lower than 38400. Try setting:

    ModemAnswerFaxBeginCmd: "<19200><xon>"  # lock line rate and flow control
