Fake FAX Calls

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi All,

I've had this problem for sometime now and I wonder if anyone
else has had it too. Every so often (like twice a day) I get 
the attached message saying that I have a fax from an anonymous
sender, but that the FAX failed. I know for a FAX that nobody
is trying to send me a FAX. 

I am using mgetty-1.1.8 on Redhat 4.2 and modem is a Zoom V.34X Plus.
What could be causing this problem? Anyone else seen it?

Thanks,

/basie
