It would help to know what was badge engineered to produce this, or
what chipset it is built on.

A session log would be most helpful here, as would a description of
unreadable.  Unreadable suggests that more was received than is the
case with the recent reports which appear to be the result of using
the wrong receive trigger for a modem.  In that case, there is the
obvious, trivial, bad phone line case, but there could also be a flow
control problem, but normally only if you are running the modem at
less than 19200 or the PC is unable to keep up with the data rate.

Firstly find out what the modem really is, then get hold of the technical
manual for that modem (unfortunately FAX mode information is often missing
from such manuals).  Note that I have never seen a full technical manual
supplied with a modem in recent years, but USR, Rockwell and at least
one other have reasonable ones (Rockwell is more complete) on the web.
