In this case I suspect that the error message is misleading.

HylaFAX isn't ever enforcing a 5-second timeout between EOLs.  The modem 
may be, but in this case it wasn't.  In this case it was just the error 
message that happened to be assigned to this kind of situation... where 
the modem stopped communicating back with the host in Phase C.

HylaFAX only uses this error message in two cases 1) if the modem itself 
gives the +FHS:91 condition - which is rare, or 2) if data reading from 
the modem ceases entirely during Phase C.  In the latter case (which is 
the case at hand) the error message is a bit misleading.

Thanks,

Lee.
