That patch seems to solve the buffer problem, but now,
according to the HylaFAX logs, the fax transmission
fails for a different reason.  The data transfer now
seems abnormally fast.  The page may be transferred
and things may stall with the post-page negotiation.

The report should make it to the linux-usb list archives
soon.

I don't know enough about the fax protocols to fully
interpret the logs and that's one reason why I reported
the problem to this mailing list.

In any case, HylaFAX is not to blame because if I
boot with kernel 2.6.25 I can fax without problems.

Most people, I would assume, are using HylaFAX with
Linux distributions that have a kernel version below
2.6.26.  Eventually, though, the distributions will
be updated and the breakage may be experienced by
more HylaFAX users -- at least those using USB modems.
