Some of the same old usual Class 2 firmware issues...

In Class 2 the modem is not really supposed to perform copy quality correction. But here you can see that the modem is doing just that... or something weird like that. HylaFAX's decoding of the data received from the modem showed 105 lines with none of them bad. The +FPTS report from the modem there tells us that the modem will transmit RTN instead of MCF, that there were 105 lines counted, and that 105 of them were bad, and that 0 of them were consecutive. Obviously something doesn't make sense there. You can't have 105 lines of 105 lines be bad with none of them being consecutive.

So, anyway, basically the problem is most likely that when HylaFAX initialized the modem it did not claim to support copy quality correction, and yet it does, and so now HylaFAX thinks that it is doing all of that work, but really the modem is, and so HylaFAX thinks that it's transmitting MCF when the modem is really transmitting RTN.

The solution, just like with other MultiTechs in Class 2, is to put these in your modem config file:

 Class2CQQueryCmd:  "!0-2"
 Class2CQCmd:  AT+FCQ=1

Now, that will get HylaFAX and the modem talking on the same page. There still, however, seems to be some issue with the consecutive bad line count in the first place. My guess is that the fill order is wrong, and that you need:

ModemRecvFillOrder: MSB2LSB

in your modem config files.

You could probably save yourself a lot of trouble by using Class 1. But if you insist on using Class 2, please do yourself a favor and use one of the prototype config files for modern MultiTech modems (i.e. config/lucent-mt-2).

Lee.
