Re: flexfax: Modem capabilities

Hi,

in the fax spooling directory (/var/spool/fax on my setup) there is a
directory called info. It contains files for each faxno dialled.
Edit the file(s) - there may be >1 if your applications sometimes use
country code/area code, sometimes not - by changing the values assigned to
the maxSignallingRate and minScanlineTime to what you want, then prefix
those lines with &

eg
&maxSignallingRate="9600"

It's called "locking down" the config for a particular destination.

Best Regards,
