Well, you are right (though I wonder because nobody despite a mislead
fax call would think of sending me a fax on that number but this may
happen if someone misdials) But the mail I got did not relate to that
incoming fax call  and my clocks *are* correct.

I will try to repeat the situation and will see if the problem now
is gone with the switchbd 19200 entry now in my mgetty.config.

I think we can close that problem. Thanks for your help.
