I would love to accept that the problem has been solved. After I had
installed HylaFAX+ 5.2.1 and tested the software with the well known
remote fax equipment: Canon Laser Class 2060, I received following
well known error:

COMREC invalid response received to PPS. {E146}

The {E146} appears since the new HylaFAX+ 5.2.1 version.

I do not know about the receiver's output, but I guess that he has no
obvious problems, except receiving the fax three times. At least that
was the situation before. 

Have a look to the corresponding log file:
