[hylafax-users] Hdlc frame too short

["john andrews" <ml@irelandin1.com>]

I have the a problem when trying to send a fax to my local fax machine. I
keep getting HDLC frame too short messages. However I have been able to
receive faxes from the same fax machine. Is this likely to be a problem with
my setup, the modem or the receiving fax machine. Could anyone advise me on
how to solve this?

Thanks

John Andrews

Details and logs (also an efax log):

HylaFAX version 4.1.5
linux Mandrake 9.1
class 1 modem: TP560 Data/Fax/Voice 56K Modem

receiving fax machine is an OKIFAX 4100

Thank John

Also, I have tried using efax as well. In this case there was also a problem
with short frames. Here are some excerts from the efax log:
