Thnx Gert, I haven't noticed it, while I was reading sendfax.conf
documentation...

I've got two USR Sportsters behind local PBX - one on machine with linux
and another one with win95.
After setting 'ignore-carrier yes' I can fax more than 1 page page from
linux to win95. That modem on win95 can easily fax to number outside and
everything work (really) good. But I can't make USR Sportster to fax even
one page to the same number outside the local PBX (I don't forget to include
outgoing string).

I don't know whats going on... Can't really USR Sportster be made to fax
correctly usign linux software (I have to do it in one company)
Maybe there are other not so expensive modems I can use with sendfax.
Or mayby juz another software? (efax or hylafax) but after I've read about
them I thought that mgetty+sendfax is the best choice.

Another thing is to make that USR Sportster usign 'vm' (from vgetty package)
to send voice info in case when fax connection cann't be established
(sending request for switching line into modem) but I don't think about it
up to now... Sending fax is the most important problem.

It's really VERY important for me... so please answer if you know something
what can help me solve that strange problem...
