I've been having problems in receiving faxes with a ZyXEL U1496E (ROM
version 6.13) from certain fax machines and fax modems.  I've been using
mgetty for quite a while to do data dialup service, but I've only recently
started using it for faxes.

Outgoing faxes work fine (even to fax machines/modems that can't send to
me!).

I must be going mad, because as far as I can tell, noone else is having
any problems with ZyXELs with ROMs higher than 6.10...

Here is a chunk of the log file at debug level 8:
