[hylafax-users] very poor quality faxes



Hey,
I was just wondering if this was due to software or hardware problems. I have
been able to send faxes but most of my received faxes are of just horrible
quality so much so that the tiff is just blank or sometimes it has a few
squished lines.

 The modem is a USR sportster 14,400 and it does a great job sending.  I have
tried a few different fax machines around the office but with no luck. 

Here is a log transcript the FCS error is quite common but i was told not to
worry about that if it eventually goes trough which it does:
