Re: [hylafax-users] Fax calls answered as data connection

[Lee Howard <faxguy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mitesh,

The +FDM response from your modem indicates the your *modem* thinks that 
it's a data call, and faxgetty is simply doing what the modem says.

So it's just a matter of turning off adaptive answer on the modem.  
Maybe set "ModemAnswerCmd:  AT+FCLASS=1;A".

Lee.
