ZOOM faxmodem - slow fax reception

Tue, 4 May 1999 20:52:10 -0400
Hi, I just recently started using mgetty/sendfax/vgetty package, and
first of all would like to thank authors for their work !
I use mgetty-1.1.19-1 from RPM distribution together with
mgetty-sendfax-1.1.19-1.rpm and mgetty-voice-1.1.19-1.rpm
My modem is ZOOM 2919 dual 56KFlex (Rockwell chip, I guess).
Now, everything seems to work well (although I did not check
extensively voice, to be sure). One problem is, that all fax
receiptions I was able to get were in transmission mode
+FDCS 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,5
i.e very slow 2400 bps, no error correction, and only normal resolution.
I tried 2 different fax machines to send myself a fax - with the same
results. (and I did request fine resolution and error correction on
those fax machines - but the mode was switched to normal/no ecc
as soon as connection was established). Otherwise reception was
succesfull.
I have included below the log of the session. Sorry it is somewhat long,
but I tried to delete everything irrelevant. Seems my modem goes straight
into this lowest 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,5 mode, not as the result of falling down
from something better. I'd appreciate to get any advice. Can somebody
share their experiences with ZOOM modems ?
On the other had, sending fax works all right. sendfax.log is almost
identical to the example in mgetty manual. Typical transmission mode
I get is +FDCS 1,3,0,2,1,0,0,2. I'm not going to include this log
here, but, BTW, modem quirks are detected to be 0004 - If I knew what
it means. Still, a minor question on sending: In the beginnig of
session (before any conections) I have
tss: set speed to 38400 (017)
Why is it so, if in all config files I set speed to 115200 ?
Thanks, Dmitri Pogosyan
