'scuse the interruption Greg...

Your problem sounds like the one I had when I first used Quicklink II

faxmodem software.  It wouldn't receive faxes at all and had a lot of 

trouble "training" on fax transmissions.



My fix was to go into the Quicklink setup menus and set the *data* rate

at 9600 and the terminal type as TTY (yep, TTY).  I don't know why the data

settings should have *any* effect on the faxing; but it worked.  Of course 

this meant I couldn't use Quicklink for modeming (without a lot of hassle) 

but this was no great loss as I was using Telix anyway :)



I left the Quicklink *fax* settings as Group 3 Class 2, ie: a standard 9600bps

fax.  My 14.4k faxmodem works fine now with 99% of all fax machines/faxmodems.

If yours is one of the older 4800bps (transmit) faxmodems I think you will 

need to set it as a Class 1 ??



What software are you using anyway?
