Crippled received faxes

Meanwhile, I found a workaround for this "bug". In the modem properties
of WinFAX I can choose between "TAPI" (don't know what this is, but it's
the standard) and "COM1/COM2/...". Changing this setting from "TAPI"
to "COM1" results in wonderful received faxes on the side of mgetty.

Another way to solve the problem is upgrading to the newest version of
WinFAX.

Strange, rather strange...


Thanks for your support!
