flexfax: HylaFAX vs USR Courier I modem

["Andrew Vardy" <andrew_vardy@stratos.ca>]

Hi,

I am mailing about the following post to flexfax@sgi.com which was
pertaining to problems using HylaFAX with a USR Courier modem.
Basically, the problem experienced here (and by me) is that the modem
sometimes times out when sent the initial AT command by HylaFAX
(ATE0V1Q0X4S0):

Has anyone ever discovered an alternate solution to this problem?  I am
experiencing the exact same difficulty.  Any help you can provide would
be greatly appreciated!
