Re: [hylafax-users] MODEM <Timeout> on Multitech

[Lorenzo Milesi <lorenzo.milesi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In case anyone else runs into this, it was a problem with the USB<->RS232 converter.
I switched it over with the other modem, and now the MTX runs like a charm, while the other one answers the call but fails to receive fax.
