Hi Gert,

If you try to initiate a call within 30 seconds after a failed/the last
call the modem wont do so, (german: Wahlsperre)... It's a work around...
Other modems use other ways...

the last line is the problem...
sendfax hangs after this line and waits... the hangup of the modem comes
later...

Damn (sorry), that doesnt help...

I'm currently getting a new firmware.. lets try..
I'll write you a mail after that... (wish me good luck ;-) )
