You need a string "AT+FAA=1" to get the modem to auto-answer fax or data.
Have a look in the files in the config directory for an example - sorry,
I havn't got access to the config right now. Email me if you can't find
anything.
I suspect you'll bump into the problem I have shortly - if you don't, I'd
*really* appreciate if you'd send me your working config back.
I have a USR Sportster 28.8. I can answer fax/data (w/ FAA=1), but the
modem will *only* do this in class2.0 mode.
I can also send faxes, but *only* in class1 mode. If I try to send in
class 2.0, I invariably fail to re-train after the first page. The modem
will receive class1, but *won't* FAA=1 with class1.
Sooooooo, if you can get the same config file to send *and* receive *and*
receive data, I'd be *well* pleased.
This problem has irritated me for about a year or so, but I never really
send faxes....
