flexfax: Re: Problems with AT+FDIS

[chris@onthe.net.au (Chris Dunlop)]

Hi Conrad,

This looks similar to a problem I had ages ago.  In my case, the modem
responds to the +FDCC=? command saying (amongst other things) that it's
capable of doing 2D compression.  But the 2D compression support in this
version of the firmware is broken, so I turned it off using the
following entry in my config files:

#
# The 2D compression support is completely stuffed in the
# Rev V1.510-V34_DS firmware, so we override the +FDCC=?
# query here.
#
# Syntax is:
#
#       (vr),(br),(wd),(ln),(df),(ec),(bf),(st)
# where,
#       vr      vertical resolution
#       br      bit rate
#       wd      page width
#       ln      page length
#       df      data compression
#       ec      error correction
#       bf      binary file transfer
#       st      scan time/line
#
# Modem responds with: (0,1),(0-5),(0-2),(0-2),(0,1),0,0,(0-7)
# Change this to...
Class2DCCQueryCmd:      "!(0,1),(0-5),(0-2),(0-2),(0),(0),(0),(0-7)"


It looks like you should be using something similar to change the
df parameter to 0.

Cheers,

Chris.
