Re: flexfax: Re: (Missing Subject)

No clue is this has anything to do, but check on the copy quality 
checking response that your modem provides, some modems say that they 
do copy quality checking but they don't. You can always overrule the 
modem response in the config.xxx file. You may also want to set a low 
percentage of good lines and a high number of consecutive bad lines 
as acceptable. And see what happens...

Note: may be forcing a lower baud rate will help.
