flexfax: Elsa modem problem on SuSE 6.3

["Wolfgang Riedmann" <wolfgang@riedmann.it>]

Hi, 

I�m having very big problems with Elsa modems on a SuSE 6.3 
system - HylaFax 4.1b2.

When I setup the system for the first time, the modem responded 
and all seemed ok, but on the faxed pages were missing lines. I 
used an Elsa Microlink 56k Basic (the same modem is in use on a 
lot of other servers with NT and a commercial fax software and 
works like a charm).

So I rechecked and found on this list a config script for Elsa 
modems. When I used this script on the server, I began receiving 
errors via mail that the modem doesn�t worked. And when I start 
the faxaddmodem script, it gives a lot of error messages "Hm, 
somethins seems to be hung, check your modem, eh?", after an 
error messages that stty couldn�t be read from stdin and the 
message that the modem was a class 2.0.

I�ve checked three different Elsa modems, a 56k Basic, a 56 
Internet and the newest 56k Internet model, all with the same result.

I�ve tested a noname modem that has only class 1 functionality, 
and it works without these errors, only it�s not able to complete 
any transmission. Some pages are transmitted at 10%, some at 
90%, but none complete.

What can I do next?

Thank you
