See the documentation, or look through the archives and web sites for the
many many references to the problems with Sportsters.

I don't have a Sportster, so I don't know exactly how to configure it.

In my view, it should not have been enabled in the first place, and, as

The real test for this is to listen for the tone; it is possible that the
other software is forcing a fax answer without waiting for calling tone.
