Re: [hylafax-users] HylaFAX v4.3.2 cannot initialize multiTech modem

[David A Davidson <d_davidson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From time to time I've had problems with setting the modem up where it
can find the right speed even though it would work with minicom. Try
using the set serial commmand for the port specifying the correct UART
chip. Assuming you are on linux of course.
Regads,
