I've tried everything to get mgetty-sendfax 1.11 to get
my USR sportster 33.6 to send a fax to a plain ol'e fax
machine with no luck. (I've faxed to this fax machine
with Hylafax on Linux and with Windows95 Exchange so I
know this fax-modem works) I've tried all the
recommended tricks in the policy.h like increasing the
delay to 500ms (I know, I'm reaching) but I keep on
getting this error (I know reported many times)

fax_wait_for: string 'AT+FDT'
fax_wait_for: string '+FCS:1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0'
transmission par.: '+FCS:1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0'
fax_wait_for: string '+FCS:1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0'
transmission par.: '+FCS:1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0'
fax_wait_for: string '+FCS:1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0'
transmission par.: '+FCS:1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0'
fax_wait_for: string '+FHS:25'
connection hangup: '+FHS:25'
(DCS sent three times without response)** found **

Here is what I'm looking for...

1. Is this a USR FAX CLASS 2 compatibility problem that
Hylafax and MS Exchange/Win95 are working around or is
this an mgetty-sendfax problem?

2. If it's a USR problem, can anyone tell me if USR has
corrected the problem in their new modems and if not,
what reliable low cost (~$150) modem would you
recommend (I can't afford the $350 ZyXel 1496 cause if
I could, I wouldn't be writing this :)

Thanks,

Rich
