Oh, i did not notice this, it would probaly not be good - hopefully the
modem would be smart enough not to do this once it had already seen a RTC
on line, but then again maybe not.  If the fax at the other end sees
multiple RTC's which are basically a series of end of line characters it is
very likely to think the page being sent is no good and ask for it to be
transmitted again - a retrain.

Have you got a 1496 manual, is there a S-Register to turn this 'feature' off?
