No. My problem is that the manual doesn't say what the first hyphen after
the "F" means, whether multiple F...,F...,F... are supported for the
DistinctiveRings: setting, or whether only the first/last are effective
andthe rest ignored, or what difference it makes to leave out the last 2
numbers of the cadence specification.

I've tried all of

DistinctiveRings: F4-13-4-0-0,F3-14-4-0-0,F3-14-3-0-0,F4-14-3-0-0
DistinctiveRings: F-4-13-4-0-0,F-3-14-4-0-0,F-3-14-3-0-0,F-4-14-3-0-0
DistinctiveRings: F-4-13-4,F-3-14-4,F-3-14-3,F-4-14-3

with a RingsBeforeAnswer: of 0 and/or 1, but hylafax never sets the modem to
answer. In comparison, using "RING" as ifentifying string for incoming calls
causes hylafax to answer both voice and fax calls (as the modem reports
"RING" after the DRON=/DROF= values for both/all types of call).

The first cadence logged by hylafax is 4-0-0-0-0 for both voice and fax
calls. Is this preventing hylafax from ever answering a fax call?

The modem module (NetComm IG1000) identifies itself with
MODEM ROCKWELL RC288DPi/ACF3_V1.919-V90_P21_FSH_LL_RD
but it's a Conexant chip CX06827, though I don't think the modem is the
problem here.

Thanks,

Volker
