Re: [hylafax-users] overlapping/cut lines in fax page.

[Lee Howard <faxguy@howardsilvan.com>]

I received the probemodem output as requested.  It appears like the 
modem uses a Lucent/Agere chipset rather than the one that Hayes has 
historically used (Rockwell/Conexant).  This would tend to indicate 
that for Class 1 configurations, config/lucent is more applicable than 
config/rc288dpi-1 ... although honestly, it really shouldn't matter in 
Class 1 implementations.

I didn't do (or, haven't done) anything with the requested data because 
more and more it is appearing to me that faxaddmodem behavior in 
matching fixed configuration files to AT-id responses is weak and 
subject to flaws.  In order for this to be perfect, there could need to 
be a config prototype for every firmware revision of every model of 
every modem out there.  And that's a tremendous impossibility, and 
HylaFAX can never keep up.

faxaddmodem has the tools to generally check to see if certain 
functions are available in a particular modem without relying on 
prototype files.  I.e., checking to see if AT+FTS=n results in ERROR or 
not.  faxaddmodem could become a monstrous beast of a script, but it 
would be more versatile than the current prototyping that HylaFAX (and 
mgetty, and efax, and many Win-programs) use.

So, anyway, I didn't invest any effort in trying to match probemodem 
output to config file.
