Aha!  Okay, I see what's going on now.

When I developed Class 1 ECM support I also attempted to extend 
DesiredEC from being boolean (on/off) to allow for the client to 
actually select between the various ECM modes (right now 64-bit and 
256-bit... but in the future I suppose it could also include full-duplex 
ECM, "Annex C" --- which purpose would be the real purpose behind this 
extension).  However, when I did that work I neglected to see that in 
the client-server hfaxd protocol that USEECM is still boolean... and 
that's the problem.  Somewhere the "2" is turning into a "false" in that 
process.

So that's the bug I'll fix for 5.0.4.

Thanks,

Lee.
