flexfax: ZyXEL config

["J.B. LaRue" <jblarue@sparrow.mila-inc.com>]

Well, after quite some time of fudging the config for a ZyXEL 1496E, I found
that by lowering the baud rate to 19200 in both the ModemRate as well as
the S18 register, I am able to run with substantially less errors. Actually,
I'm running 99.8% error free. We're receiving between 100-200 faxes a day,
most of large quantities (40+ pages). I'll include my config below. There are
16 modems in a rack...

Does "Systems Administration" also mean phone "systems"?
