The error appears only on fax machines with faxg3 files. The
transmission stops after the first page. Our fax machine (Canon L500)
sends an error page. When I transmit to a modem attached to a PC, it
works. On the same fax machines, it works with dfaxhigh. I can try many
times with the same result.

No message from them. I have also try to filter the file with g3cat but
the error remains.

My configuration :
Solaris 2.5
mgetty 1.1.9
modem USR Sportster Vi
