In my case, faxgetty notices that there is a inbound call, set the
modem off hook and listens. The remote fax sends the DCS block three
times while Hylafax does not react. I think, normally it should send a
AT+FDR to confirm the remote parameters. But it doesn't. Then, after
sending this block three times, the remote fax hangs up (+FHNG: 01).

What could be the reason therefore. The parameters Hylafax is
recieving seem ok to me:

Apr 06 19:29:49.36: [ 3920]: --> [5:+FCON]
Apr 06 19:29:49.37: [ 3920]: ANSWER: FAX CONNECTION
Apr 06 19:29:49.39: [ 3920]: RECV FAX: begin
Apr 06 19:29:51.37: [ 3920]: --> [29:+FTSI: "Via Fax             "]
Apr 06 19:29:51.37: [ 3920]: REMOTE TSI "Via Fax"
Apr 06 19:29:51.37: [ 3920]: --> [22:+FDCS: 0,3,0,2,0,0,0,5]
Apr 06 19:29:51.37: [ 3920]: REMOTE wants 9600 bit/s
Apr 06 19:29:51.37: [ 3920]: REMOTE wants page width 1728 pixels in
215 mm
Apr 06 19:29:51.37: [ 3920]: REMOTE wants unlimited page length 
Apr 06 19:29:51.37: [ 3920]: REMOTE wants 3.85 line/mm
Apr 06 19:29:51.37: [ 3920]: REMOTE wants 1-D MR
Apr 06 19:29:57.55: [ 3920]: --> [5:+FCON]


The only difference to other successful inbound calls I can notice is
that the TSI is non-numerical.

Againt: Any hints how I could persuade Hylafax to accept these
transmission?

Thanks, Tom
