Re: [hylafax-users] Newbie Woes...

[Douglas Hardman <dhardman@tecimgsrv.com>]

I think it was more that modem than anything. I put it on xonxoff and it
still did it, so I went to a different modem (same exact model) and it all
works like butter.

I'm still monkeying around with outgoing email parser, but I'm feeling MUCH
better about it now that I have half of it working. =)
