Well, indeed, in the mgetty info documentation, under Multitech, I
found this:

   BUT: There seems to be a way to tell the modem to behave like a
Rockwell one and use the "wrong" byte order. Carlos Fonseca found the
following text on ftp.multitech.com:
 
     Function          Command       Description
 
     PROCESS           +FRBOR        Maintaining compatibility with
     DATA IN                         Rockwell Class 2 chip set for fax data
     DIRECT OR                       reception .
     REVERSE ORDER                   FRBOR=0 - Process received fax data in
                                     direct order.
                                     FRBOR=1 - Process received fax data in
                                     reverse order.

So, to not require special flags for the fax conversion utilities, this
can probably be used.
