If you removed the INFO entry, you will get 1D-MH.  That is because
HylaFAX chooses a very conservative data format for the first call to an
"unknown" receiver.  Once it knows that the receiver can handle 2D-MR
and 2D-MMR, (it saves it in the info entry), it will use the best format
for following calls.  It does this to save a call.  If it had chosen
2D-MMR, and called, and the receiver only takes 1D, it would have to
hang-up, reformat, and call again...  Until we get RTFCC into hylafax,
it will likely stay that way.  (Of course, you can probably work around
that with destctrls)

Can you check that once 2D-MR is in the info file, it will attempt to
use it on sending?
