Hello,
I'm trying to setup fax server on my linux box by  using mgetty+sendfax
package (version 1.1.19 from RedHat 5.1 distributive). Now, I can send
faxes without any problems and I can receive faxes from other modems.
But mgetty can't  make fax connection while trying to receive fax from
fax machines. It waits for connect string and doesn't recognize fax
machine call. That's the content of my mgetty.log file:

01/30 16:52:10 yS0  mgetty: experimental test release 1.1.19-Nov24

I use US Robotics 33600 Voice modem.
There is ati7 command output below:

Configuration Profile...

AT+FCLASS=?

What's the difference between fax
machines and fax modems? What parameters in mgetty.config file should I
change to correct fax receiving?
Thanks a lot for replies,
best wishes, Serge.
