Re: SEND: No response to MPS or EOP repeated 3 tries



Gildas,

Unfortunately, I can't offer any help, only consolation.  At my site, 
we've used a variety of modems hanging off an RS6000, running AIX.  Both 
desktop Sportsters (which we no longer use), and some newer rack-mounted 
Couriers, both exhibit this error quite frequently in class1.  In 
class2.0, it masquerades as "Comm failure in phase B/C".  Although I'm 
not certain, I suspect that the error is essentially the same, with 
Hylafax just reporting it differently depending on the class.  In 
class2.0, the error occurs at the AT+FDT command, which instructs the 
modem that fax data is forthcoming.  (therefore, this error always occurs 
during the in-between-pages phase of fax transmission)  My company does 
have a support contract with 3Com/USR, and they are supposedly looking at 
this.  However, it's been a very long battle to get them to do so, and I'm 
not hopeful that anything real will come of it.  They have admitted that 
the error appears to be associated with their firmware (they've been able 
to reproduce the error using different faxing s/w).

My advice:  If the error is infrequent enough, don't worry about it.  If
you pay long distance phone charges for your faxing, or you simply want to
improve throughput, purchase another modem, such as a fine MultiTech
product, and use the Courier for data use only.  (or throw it in the
trash)

Regards, Dave Lewis

ps:  I don't know if upgrading Hylafax will help;  we've not done so, 
still using Version 4.0pl0.  I'm skeptical that upgrading will help, 
since I don't recall seeing anything about this error when I glanced over 
the bug fixes for the next Hylafax version.
