Re: flexfax: Inbound data call failing

[Tim Rice <tim@trr.metro.NET>]

I've had problems with the MT2834ZDXb, I won't use them.
I and my clients are using the MT2834ZDX sucessfully.
Here is what I did. First I program the modem with
AT E0 M0 Q2 S38=35 S7=60 &C4 $SB38400 &W0
AT &F9 &W0

Then after running faxsetup/faxaddmodem I edit the config file and
change ModemSetupDCDCmd:       AT&C1
to ModemSetupDCDCmd:       AT&C4

For some reason the config file got corrupted when I tried to use
the &C4 when running faxaddmodem. Now I just go change it later.

I've included a working config file at the end (less comment lines).
