The problem here is that the HDLC frame that is being transmitted is not a "final frame", and thus HylaFAX was expecting CONNECT instead of OK, and that's why HylaFAX ignores the OK and keeps waiting until the timeout. This is not "standard external faxmodem" behavior.


HylaFAX's behavior here is different in 4.2.0. You may want to try 4.2.0beta2, it should behave differently after getting the unexpected OK. Now, I'm not certain that it will "fix" the transmission, however. It might, though.

Really this is something that Dialcom needs to fix. But given that it appears to be an older modem, I doubt that you'll get anywhere with it. We can make a workaround in HylaFAX, however. I'll need to see the HylaFAX 4.2.0 behavior, though, to be able to help you there.
