Re: MultiTECH 2834ZDX modems; send errors

Hi Neal,
we are using Multitech Modems too, but do not have such problems,
we are running about 15 MT1432 with Firmware 1.16b and a few ZDX,
I don't actually know the firmware number.
I will attach you my config file for these modems, maybe you find
something
differing ftom yours.

> I am using Hylafax 4.1 beta on a Red Hat 6.0 system for broadcast faxing with a variety of modems (8-10 in the modem pool at any given time). I am trying out a MultiTECH 2834ZDX external modem, and am considering purchasing 9 more such modems (from a local ISP that is phasing out analog modems) to standardize my modem pool. I have read good things about this MultiTECH model in this FAQ, but I have been getting a large number of errors in the transmissions (like 225 success with 50 errors out of about 300 attempts... as opposed to about 230 successes with 10 errors out of about 300 attempts as an average for the other modems).

I have tried the suggestion of setting S38 register to 35 instead of the default 43 (see Q95 http://www.hylafax.org/HylaFAQ/Q95.html). Yes, I knoiw that this is for receiving, not sending, but I thought it might help...

All the same, I would like to eliminate the error altogether. MultiTech is sending me a firmware upgrade from version 0312 to 0317i. Anybody got a clue if this will fix it, or is there a config file option or register setting I should try?
