Re: flexfax: Squished faxes

[Damian A Ivereigh <damian@cisco.com>]

The log file should tell you what is going on. This is almost certainly
a handshaking (flow control) problem. Check the times that the data is
sent - it should be obvious if the data is being sent too fast (no
handshaking). Send a log to the list if you want.

Once that has ascertained you then need to figure out *exactly* what
commands are being sent to the modem and whether any of them involve
flow control. Do you have a manual for your modem which lists the AT
commands it uses (though they are usually pretty standard)?

I'm sorry if we are already going over stuff again, I must have missed
your earlier post.
