Re: [hylafax-users] set a time-limit on incoming faxes

[Kent Rhodes <kent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Lee,

You are right, the best way would be to get a fix that works.  I will 
try "Class1PersistentECM: no" in the modem config file and see how that 
works.  I just thought it wouldn't be possible to fix it, so I was 
looking at a work-around.  The case by case basis is hard - these are 
Safeway stores faxing us with very old machines, and I think that is 
what is causing the problem.... I cannot recreate the problem either, 
which makes it hard to trouble-shoot.  (It is always the same stores 
that cause the problem).

Thank you very much for your input!

Kent
