Re: flexfax: RESEND: JFax

[Yan Seiner <yan@cardinalengineering.com>]

The receiving fax is supposed to start beeping on picking up the phone. 
The sending fax will wait until it hears the beep to start the
negotiation.

There is a setting somewhere (I'm not sure where - one of the ATSx
commands) that allows you to instruct your fax to start the negotiation.
