I tried polling a faxdocument from my Linux box running MGetty098. The 
first page is going fine, but when sending the second page it goes wrong. 
It's just like that the modem is not going online but stays in command mode.
That because the second file is echoed by the modem into the log file.
Is this caused by the modem or is it a software bug in MGetty098 ?

I have run my Linux box with MGETTY and USR Courier modem for two months 
now. No fax transmission has failed. I can't say much about data 
transmissions because I'm using this system only for private dialing in.
Data calls with the following modems are going fine:

 - Supra 14K4 extern
 - Bausch 2400bps intern
 - USR Courier extern

Anyway, the reactions in this mailing list are worrying me...
