[hylafax-users] Unspecified Receive Phase B error

["Eddie Atherton" <eddie_atherton@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

Hylafax 4.1 under Slackware 8.0 (2.4 kernel) with a Practical Peripherals 
PM14400FXMT.

Very occasionally, during a fax receive, I get the following:

Nov 02 14:35:19.56: [  240]: SESSION BEGIN 00000026 13108275352
Nov 02 14:35:19.56: [  240]: <-- [4:ATA\r]
Nov 02 14:36:04.95: [  240]: --> [5:+FCON]
Nov 02 14:36:04.95: [  240]: ANSWER: FAX CONNECTION
Nov 02 14:36:04.96: [  240]: RECV FAX: begin
Nov 02 14:36:08.35: [  240]: --> [5:+FCON]
Nov 02 14:39:08.35: [  240]: REMOTE HANGUP: Unspecified Receive Phase B 
error (code 70)
Nov 02 14:39:08.35: [  240]: RECV FAX: Unspecified Receive Phase B error
Nov 02 14:39:08.38: [  240]: RECV FAX: end
Nov 02 14:39:08.38: [  240]: SESSION END

Following this I then end up with e-mails every 4 minutes announcing:

From: The HylaFAX Receive Agent <fax@The-Tardis.BogoLinux.net>
Subject: modem on /dev/modem appears wedged
Status: RO

The HylaFAX software thinks that there is a problem with the modem
on device /dev/modem that needs attention; repeated attempts to
initialize the modem have failed.

Consult the server trace logs for more information on what is happening.

At this point, the only solution I have found (once someone actually notices 
the e-mails being sent to them) is to power cycle the modem.

Does anyone have ideas as to the cause.

Also, is there any way I can 'automatically' check for this condition and 
somehow reset the modem, as this is a remote server and it's not always easy 
to get the modem power cycled.  Plus, sometimes the e-mails aren't noticed 
for a couple of days, especially at the weekends.

Cheers,
Eddie
