[hylafax-users] T.30 T2 Timeout, Digital Phone Lines and Modem Speed

[Robert Morse <rmorse@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I'm a relative newbie running Hylafax 4.4.4 under Linux 5.  It is  
connected to a US Robotics V.92 modem, which is connected to a  
residential Comcast digital phone service.
Below is a portion of the log file that happens very frequently (i.e.,  
partial page transmission and then an abort with T.30 T2 timeout).   
I'm searched the web and read a few
articles on the hazards of modems and digital phone service, but  
haven't found a clear solution (or at least clear to me).

One of the suggestions was to slow the modem rate down.   I modified  
the config.ttys0 file, and changed ModemRate to 9600.  I restarted  
Hylafax, as well as reset the modem.  When I look at the logs,
Hylafax is reporting that it's connecting at 14400.  What other  
settings do I need to change to force the connection to 9600 or less?

This is a residential installation, so I don't need multi-port modem  
cards.   Is there a single line modem alternative to my USR modem that  
will play well with a digital phone connection?

For what it's worth, I had Comcast out, and they had no clue about a  
possible solution.  In fact, they said this was the first they ever  
heard of this.   Guess all those Google hits on
modems and digital phone service must be pranks! ;-)

Thanks for any and all suggestions.
