you can't omit the "&" sign, it is part of the command string "H" and
"&H"
are two different commands. look for "&H", that should be supported.
the lines obeve are the ones for my USR Sportster MessagePlus,
they are an example only.

yes, it does

for your modem, i would set the lines to the following:

ModemNoFlowCmd:         AT&H0&K0
ModemHardFlowCmd:       AT&H1&K3
ModemSoftFlowCmd:       AT&H2&K4

and i would remove the @ sign from your dialstring as
Steve Williams suggests.

then hylafax should be happy.....
