Re: AW: flexfax: Problems with MPS (more pages, same document)

[Thomas Tornblom <Thomas.Tornblom@Hax.SE>]

Add:

Class2DCCQueryCmd:     "!(0,1),(0-5),(0-2),(0-2),(0,1),(0),(0),(0-7)"

to the config file. This disables the ECM support for the modem. I'm not sure if 
ZyXEL ever has gotten around to fix this. I believe the bug is still present, 
both for the 1496 and 2864 series modem.

Care to comment ZyXEL support?
