[hylafax-users] Distorted faxes being received by Hylafax

[Jeff <freemed@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Hylafax 4.2.0 installation running under Debian testing which
has been producing some strange behavior when receiving faxes from
certain machines.

It seems to be "squishing" / "squashing" the actual data that is
received (not the Hylafax status line at the top of the TIFF) for
faxes received from certain fax machines. It is currently using a USR
Sportster external serial modem to receive faxes.

I have been looking through the list archives, and there are several
mentions of problems of this sort in the transmission of faxes, but
there don't seem to be any solutions when receiving faxes.

Here's a sample of a log from a distorted file:

I have tried both Class 1 and Class 2.0 configurations, but everything
seems to produce the same error. Does anyone have any idea what this
is?
