flexfax: Hey, guys, there must be an answer out there ...

[Eric Smith <eric@fruitcom.com>]

As to why a month has gone by and my system that was working fine, works no
more.  My faxes from my hylafax server all come out with lines that are
badly squashed or so squashed that they have dissapeared.

Here is the config and the log file (please note the modem errors have
always been there and did not affect performance previously).

Yeah, I need to get a more standard modem,but until then, there has got to
be a suggestion that will give me a breakthrough.  Thanx :)

# Modem-related stuff: should reflect modem command interface

#
# We normally append the "@" symbol to the dial string so that
# the modem will wait 5 seconds before attempting to connect
# and return result codes that distinguish between no carrier
# and no answer.  This makes it possible to avoid problems with
# repeatedly dialing a number that doesn't have a fax machine
# (kudos to Stuart Lynne for this trick.)

#     put it in the ModemDialCmd; e.g. "DT9%s@".
