flexfax: A Sporster Modem (or - modem init strings)

["Itamar S.-T." <itamars@ibm.net>]

I'm trying to setup Hylafax 4.0pl1 on Linux with a USR Sportster modem.  
The most I can manage to do is have the modem answer, but it never 
recieves the fax - it just dies.  I've tried most of the config files 
included for USR modems.

Now, I know the init string (ATblahblahblah) needed to get the modem 
working correctly, since I used to use it to receive faxes on the mac.  I 
can't seem to find an way to add this to the config file for the modem.

So, how can I get the program to send a command on start up to the 
fax-modem without having to config all those commands line by line?  Or 
can somebody send me a working config file for USR Sportster (this a 
french model, so I can't find any firmware updates at the USR site.)

TIA.
