Re: flexfax: SuSE 6.3, latest Hylafax and SupraFax288

>From what I have discovered so far, it may well be simply that you need to
use another modem or another piece of fax software. In my case, I still get
unspecified phase B errors much too often to consider Hylafax in a business
situation.

Some things I have tried (without any success):

- downgrade to 4.0pl2
- upgrade to 4.1beta2 (built from source)
- 4.1beta1 rpm

- xonxoff instead of rtscts
- drop speed to 19200
- class 1 setup (that just didn't work right at all!)
- many different config options

The trouble is that this modem was working absolutely 100% with another
piece of fax server software (Communigate for Mac), but since I migrated our
servers across to Linux for other reasons....  So I know the modem is not
the problem on its own. But perhaps another modem would work better with
Hylafax.

My setup:

- RedHat 6.1
- most recent libtiff (3.5.4?)
- Maestro 288 fax modem (Rockwell)


I may well have to put that Mac box back just for the fax software...
