Problems handling large volumes of outgoing faxes



Hi all,

I have a TPC.INT cell that I manage, and I use HylaFax for the outgoing
fax transmission. I've been getting numbers of errors that are too high,
I feel. Here are details.

About myself:
- ------------
I am a computer professional. I've been using ZyXEL modems from 1995,
starting with the U1496E. I have had very good results with this modem
for data connects over noisy phone lines. I am an experienced Unix
systems programmer and occasional kernel hacker. I've been using HylaFax
from its version 3 days.

The setup I am using now:
- ------------------------
I am a cell in TPC.INT (http://www.tpc.int) a free email-to-fax gateway.
I am using 

	* a Pentium machine, 32MB RAM, 4GB HDD
	* Slackware 3.3 Linux 2.0.33 kernel
	* Hylafax 4.0pl2 binary distribution from ftp.sgi.com
	* Omni O288S with firmware 1.19

I am handling about two to three hundred outgoing faxes a day from
this server, to all sorts of local machines in Bombay city.

The problem:
- -----------
I am getting an enormous number of reports of failed faxes, all due to a
few repeated reasons. For instance, in one 24-hour period, faxcron says
I have sent out a total of 183 pages of faxed data, and in the process
rejected 424 faxes to various destinations due to various errors. Here
is the summary of the error messages with a count against each:

   1 Error: COMREC error in transmit Phase B/got DCN
   1 Error: Document was encoded with 2DMR, but client does not support this data format
   4 Error: Failure to train at 2400 bps or +FMINSP value
   2 Error: RSPREC error/got DCN
  29 Error: No response to MPS repeated 3 times
 113 Error: Unable to transmit page (giving up after 3 attempts)
 274 Error: Unspecified Transmit Phase B error

If we ignore the less frequent errors, many of the frequent errors are
while transmitting the second page after the first page has gone. I
enclose a sample log file of the dialog between HylaFax and my modem
below, for some of these errors. If you want the full log of all the
errors, try looking at

	http://www.spaceNETindia.com/faxerrors.txt

I have placed the full file there (1.5Mbytes). I have also placed the
HylaFax config files that I am using at

	http://www.spaceNETindia.com/fax/

The most frequent errors are reported as "Unspecified Transmit Phase
B error.", with unexplained behaviour. The remote fax machine seems to
hang up after the initial connect.

Many other errors are of the following pattern: my faxmodem sends out the
first page, and gives the "MPS" command. The remote fax machine returns
"ERROR". My fax software retransmits the same page, and tries another
"MPS". The remote fax machine gives me another "ERROR". This repeats
for a few times, and then my fax software aborts this transmission. At
the remote end, the recipient gets multiple perfect reproductions of
the first page, but nothing more.

Before we started the TPC.INT cell, our outgoing fax volumes were very
small, and we used to write off these errors when we got them. Now,
we are getting more errors than successful transmissions, and we cannot
write them off any more. We also have a large sample size now, and we
can clearly see that this is a general problem, not limited to one or
two recipient fax machines.

Please help.

I enclose the following sections below:

	1.	a few logs of fax sessions where the exact errors are
		shown. The full set of 424 such logs is available on the
		Web at the location specified above.

	2.	a message from the global coordinator of TPC.INT, where
		he mentions that these end-of-page errors is quite
		common with ZyXEL modems, and less common with
		Multitech.

Is this really just a ZyXEL problem? Is there anything I can do to make
HylaFax make the modem behave?

Regards, and thanks for your attention,
Shuvam Misra

| 
| I'm afraid this is a very common mode of failure between faxmodems and fax
| machines (EOP errors). I see it quite often with ZyXel modems, less often
| with Multitech.
| 
| If you have the energy, pursue this on the HylaFAX mailing list, with the appro
| priate logfiles, or alternatively chase it up with ZyXel.
| 
| Sorry I cannot be more helpful.
