[hylafax-users] Fax calls answered as data connection

["Mitesh P Choksi" <murli@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

I have a situation where some fax calls are answered as data connection. I
have managed to identify specifically that when a manual fax dials in and
the sender waits for the fax tone before starting to send a fax,
hylafax/faxgetty considers it as a data call. Session trace shows:

Hylafax binary: HylaFAX version 4.2.1 built Fri Feb  4 14:28:50 EST 2005
for i686-pc-linux-gnu (downloaded from site for RH9)

Whitebox Enterprise Linux 3.0: Linux faxserver 2.4.21-4.EL #1 Sat Dec 13
19:47:38 CST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Modem: US Robotics Sportster 33.6

I have tried to fix it by adding following in config.ttyS0 either of the one:
1. AdaptiveAnswer=Yes, AnswerRotary=fax
2. ModemAnswerFaxCmd=ATA

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Murli
