Re: [hylafax-users] Modem answers on the first ring

[Hardi Gunawan <hardigunawan@yahoo.com>]

I've finally solved the 'problem'! :D


There's nothing wrong with the hylafax settings.  It
was just because in my country, a single 'ring'
consist of 2 quick rings.  That's why when I specify
RingsBeforeAnswerCmd to 5, the modem answers on the
2.5 'rings'.

Thanks for helping me solve and understand :)
