Using a Netcomm Roadster 11 56k USB modem. Hylafax reports chipset as Conexant 
AC/K56/V2.300-V90_2M_DLP. The data sheet also refers to Conexant chipset.

Minicom reports the modem config as being AT S7=45 S0=0 -SDR=4 M0 L1 x4 &c1 E1 
Q0. The important string here -SDR=4. This was pointed out in the modem 
handbook. Specifically it said AT-SDR=4,1 triple ring detected and reported 
as "RING3" When this number is called, I can hear 3 quick rings (set up by 
phone company). Minicom reports RING3 and the call is handed off to hylafax.
I am not familiar with DRON/DROF. I have not come across this in my config.
