Re: [hylafax-users] USB modem suggestions for linux

[Emo Mosley <j.e.mosley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Andras,

I compared your modem config with mine, and it looks like the main difference 
is that you have:

	RecvDataFormat: "2-D MMR"

From the description, it looks like this affects the format of the received 
fax, but I don't know if this has more to do with storing the TIFF or with how 
the protocol receives it.  Did you add this from troubleshooting a problem 
(failure rates like mine)?  How did you come across this option?

Many thanks.
-Emo

I've used MultiTech MT5634ZBA-v.92-USB modems under both Class 1 and Class 2, but they have high failure rates (10% - 20%).  The suggested modems on HylaFAX's web site are really outdated.
