Which firmware version is this?

Ah, I can see this from the logs..

This firmware is OLD.  I'd try to get a more recent one - they have
improved quite a lot in this section, and I'm pretty sure that it should
help here.  (Contact ELSA support about this, and if that doesn't help,
contact me again).

What's going on is that your modem and the receiving side can't make
contact - that's on a very low level that mgetty has only little influence
on, so there's really nothing you can do (except try "max-fax-speed 9600"
or even less, but that only very seldom helps).
