It means that your USR modem thinks that the caller is a data caller and 
not a fax caller.  Disable adaptive answer in your modem config and/or 
put AT+FAA=0 in your ModemResetCmds.  If that doesn't help, then try:

 ModemAnswerCmd:  AT+FCLASS=1;A

You must be using "ModemType: Class1" for this to be valid.
