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

[Damian Ivereigh <damian@cisco.com>]

Hmm. I would be interested in investigating this. Is there any way you
could send me the
telephone number (Not on the list though) and would they mind if I tried
sending a few pages from my modem?

I have a different modem (Multi-Tech) and I would be interested to see
if this is a modem or a software problem. It seems so repeatable that it
doubt it is just line noise. I know the standard answer has just been to
revert to Class 1 operation, presumuably because the modem is not doing
the right thing in Class 2 and Hylafax would do a better job. However
Class 1 requires the s/w to do much more handholding of the protocol
than class 2.

I should add that I am not an expert with Hylafax, but I am willing to
dive into the code if required.

Actually I am not sure what I said earlier about RTN was right. Maybe
one of the protocol experts can jump in and explain. Looking at the
log:-

> > > > Nov 04 03:25:11.95: [14694]: SENT 13269 bytes of data

Presumuably this is the remote saying (through the modem) it got an
error.

> > > > Nov 04 03:25:28.27: [14694]: SEND recv RTN (retrain negative)

Is this Hylafax announcing its intention to *send* an RTN (drop the
speed) to the modem?

> > > > Nov 04 03:25:28.27: [14694]: <-- [7:AT+FDT\r]

Is this Hylafax actually send the RTN is AT commands?

> > > > Nov 04 03:25:34.28: [14694]: --> [20:+FCS:0,3,0,2,0,0,0,5]

Is this the reply from the modem to the request for an RTN? Anyone know
what it means? Is there an error in there that Hylafax should be picking
up?
