Re: Re: Hylafax & Multitech 5600ZDX



Hi,

> ModemHardFlowCmd:	AT&K3		# hardware flow control cmd
> ModemSoftFlowCmd:	AT&K4		# software flow control cmd

Since I did a lot of the base of this config, I thought I would throw in
something here that seems to have gone missing.

Regarding the MT5600ZDX....  according to the manual, the ABOVE flow control
settings are "supposed" to work.  I had set them that way originally myself.
But I got a lot of the bad behavior described in this context on BOTH data
and fax calls.  I had perfected and been using a config for the MT2384ZDX
(both the 28.8kb and 33.6kb models) and the flow control had been set using
the syntax:

ModemFlowControlCmd:    AT&E4&E13       # hardware flow control
ModemResetCmds:         AT&E1&E15                                               

Now, the reset line above is included here because I had copied it over
to my MT5600ZDX entry as well and it was working.  It may really not be
necessary.  

The settings above were for HARDWARE flow control on the older MT2834ZDX's
(from the manual and from working configs).  Now, this is NOT in the manual
for the MT5600ZDX, *BUT* it was accepted by the modem in faxgetty modem
initialization.  AND, most important, after commenting out the entries
listed up top (the &Kx stuff), and putting the above lines in, my MT5600ZDX
has worked great for fax in/out and data in/out with the port rate set at
57600 baud!

So, for what it is worth.  It works for me!
