Our Hylafax daemon (v4.0, Sunos-4.1.3), using a USR Courier
V.Everything modem, reports the following error with one fax machine
we dial:

Aug 23 16:56:43.52: [ 8823]: Document was encoded with 2DMR, but modem
does not support this data format
The firmware in the modem is listed as (supervisor date 04.29/96, dsp
date 04/11/96, supervisor rev 6.5.0, dsp rev 1.3.2). The modem is
used in Class-2.0 fax mode by the Hylafax daemon. As far as I can
tell from the Hylafax documentation, Hylafax is supposed to adjust the
compression to the optimal scheme supported by both the transmitting
modem and the receiving fax device.
Is this send failure a problem of the modem, or perhaps a
misconfiguration of Hylafax? In either case, how can I prevent the
problem? Thanks in advance for suggestions by email,
The modem is incapable of transmitting 2D-encoded data but HylaFAX has
been told that it is capable of doing this. My guess is that you used
faxmodem to notify the scheduler that the modem exists and you specified
the wrong capabilities. If you run faxgetty then this will not happen.
The setup instructions discuss the correct way to run faxmodem and of
course there is the manual page.
