Re: [hylafax-users] modem hangs, nonstop RING in logs

["Jasen Bruggeman" <j_bruggeman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lee,

Thanks for the patch, I am using the 4.1.8-1 RPM, how do I apply this patch? 
Also, do you think this problem is originally being caused by the 
V.Everything modem or the firmware? And should I be looking at using 
different modems for these servers, if so could you recommend any good ones.
