Thank for the reply,

My modem is an class 0,1,8 modem, for now the Hylafax is used for faxing out document only,

My current configuration right now is:

[I just added 3 command as you mention ModemFlowControl, ModemHardFlowCmd, and ModemSoftFlowCmd]

I search in the internet for the ModemHardFlowCmd and ModemSoftFlowCmd, some of the source set AT&H3 and some of the source set AT*H3. I did not know which source is the correct one.

http://www.sfr-fresh.com/unix/misc/hylafax-5.2.7.tar.gz:a/hylafax-5.2.7/config/dsi-scout+
===>AT*H3
http://www.hylafax.org/archive/2007-01/msg00113.php
====>AT&H3

May I know where is the H variable come from? Beside H, got other source put K, or D..

I scan through the hylafax-config man page http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/man/hylafax-config.php

It look very detail and technical , May I know is it every setting need to set it?

May I know which configuration need to add in my config.ttyS0? [when there is an problem occur ]

Thank you

P/S: Lee Howard are you a Modem maker? Why you understood so well about the fax command? :)

I don't really understand this question.  Yes?  Those configuration
features are changed in the modem configuration file.  I suppose in your
case that could be config.ttyS0.

You will need to refer to the documentation for your modem on these.

Furthermore, I feel that it it's important for you to read (or at least
understand) the hylafax-config man page:

http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/man/hylafax-config.php

No, I don't mean re-run faxaddmodem.  I mean for you to modify the modem
configuration file.  (Please see/read that man page.)

Yes and yes.  Again, please see the hylafax-config man page where all of
this is discussed along with a lot of other things that you will likely
want to know next.

This kind of problem (where one document will work to a destination but
another won't) is indicative of a problem dealing with MMR data
(actually, the EOFB signal in the MMR data) problems that was fixed in
HylaFAX+ (and I'm not sure if/when that fix got into hylafax.org releases).

Thanks,

Lee.
