[hylafax-users] Received faxes unreadable

[Jaap Winius <jwinius@xxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

Although my modem does not have any problems communicating with other
fax devices, every time I receive something the resulting TIF files
always end up looking like an unreadable mess of vertical lines.

Any idea what could be causing this? I used the faxaddmodem script to
add the modem (a 1997 USR Courier) as a Class1 fax and received no errors.

This is what my config.ttyS0 looks like at the moment:
