Re: flexfax: Can only send one page to HP office fax/printer

[Damian Ivereigh <damian@cisco.com>]

It's the RTN (Retrain Negative) which is causing the problem. Apparently
Hylafax sends some junk that it shouldn't somewhere. Most fax machines
ignore, but some get upset and want to reduce the speed of the
connection (RTN). I don't think Hylafax wants to do that - so bombs out.

There's a patch to fix the junk on
http://www.elgro.demon.co.uk/patchlist.html

See if that helps.
