[hylafax-users] Problem with "MODEM Command error" / "No response to MPS repeated 3 tries"



I have built a Fedora 9 server running HylaFAX (tm) Version 5.2.8 using three Dlink DFM-562IS modems (hsfmodem-7.68.00.14 full) and the Linuxant driver
Currently it is connected to a PABX.

Send and receive of single page faxes works well.
Receive of 3 page fax from an old Ricoh machine also works
Receive of 3 page fax from an old Hylafax server also works
Send of a 3 page pdf from an old Hylafax server to a PC running MS fax also works.
But Send of a 3 page pdf from the new Hylafax server to a PC running MS fax fails, but sometimes the first page is received.

I see that the log shows a "MODEM Command error" and that these posts seem relevant:

Before I buy different modems can I just check if there is something else I can try?


Cheers,

Philip
