I was testing sendfax out by sending a fax to a PC running MS Exchange and
Microsoft Fax. All seems to go well until it tries to negotiate the
transmission of the second page. Microsoft Exchange tells me that the fax was
partially received. Only one page one comes through. And on the Linux side, I
get the following message:
# sendfax -n 2446136 f1.g3 f2.g3 f3.g3
Trying fax device '/dev/modem'... OK.
Dialing 2446136... OK.
sending 'f1.g3'...
sendfax: FAILED to transmit 'f1.g3'.
Transmission error: +FHNG:-5 (Unexpected hangup / read() error / write() error
(int.))
I have set the following in policy.h
#define FAX_USRobotics
#define DATA_FLOW FLOW_SOFT
#define FAX_SEND_FLOW FLOW_SOFT
#define FAX_REC_FLOW FLOW_SOFT
#define FAXREC_FLOW FLOW_SOFT
Could this be a problem with the setting in Exchange? I have not had a problem
with it in the past. Can anyone provide some suggestion on what I may be doing
wrong? I am using a USRobotics v.90 Fax modem. It works fine for receiving
faxes, and ppp dial-in.
