I am able to send faxes out via the spooler but I am having difficulty receiving faxes. The problem seems to be a time-out problem after receiving the CONNECT message. One thing I found out about the ZyXEL's is that they are not returning Class 2 values that are strings (eg. FCSI, FTSI) properly. The values should have double-quotes around them (eg. +FCSI:"18005551212") but do not (at least with the V5.02 ROMSs). I also needed to increase the timeout value TIMEOUT_ANSWER in c2proto.h from 15 seconds to 60 seconds to allow for long carrier detect times (all those protocols :-). Something that made by efforts easier was a patchfile that was posted here earlier. If you don't have it, email me. I don't remember at the moment what I changed that ioctl to but I can check tonight. Jeff Gottloeb gottloeb@gumby.dsd.trw.com
