["Patrick Buseine" <buseine@rever.fr>]

Hi all,

I'm running HylaFAX v4.0pl0 on AIX 4.1.5 with a Hayes Optima 28800 modem. I
use the oubound service only and I'm unable to send a fax, I'm getting the
following error during the communication with the Fax machine :

It continues that way at 12000,9600,7200,4800, 2400 and finally : 

Aug 14 10:13:28.79: [38756]: SEND FAILED: Failure to train remote modem at
2400 bps or minimum speed; too many attempts to dial

Any ideas ? By the way, what is "TCF data" ?

Thanks much.
