[hylafax-users] failure to receive silence

[Ioannis Mavroidis <imavroid@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I am using hylafax-4.4.2 on fedora core 6, and my modem is a PCI softmodem with a motorola chipset and uses the slamr driver. I am getting "Failure to receive silence" when trying to send a fax. In general I am able to send & receive faxes, but sometimes some faxes do not go through. What could the problem be?

Here are the last few lines of my modem config file:

Class1Cmd:              AT+FCLASS=1     # command to enter class 1
Class1PPMWaitCmd:       AT+FTS=7        # command to stop and wait before PPM
Class1TCFWaitCmd:       AT+FTS=7        # command to stop and wait before
TCF
Class1EOPWaitCmd:       AT+FTS=9        # command to stop and wait before EOP
Class1SwitchingCmd:     AT+FRS=7        # silence between HDLC recv
 and
trans
Class1RecvAbortOK:      200             # wait 200ms for abort response
Class1FrameOverhead:    4               # 4 byte overhead in recvd HDLC
frames
Class1RecvIdentTimer:   40000           # 35+5secs waiting for ident frames
Class1TCFMaxNonZero:    10              # max 10% of data may be non-zero
Class1TCFMinRun:        1000            # min run is 2/3rds of TCF duration

and here is an example failed job log:
