motorola 3400 28.8 and receiving faxes (NOT)

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

Hi,

I'm forwarding that for somebody from UK (Ian Steel <ian@bilstone.co.uk>)
who was asking in a newsgroup and doesn't know this group but asked me for
help. 

The scenario: he's set up Linux 1.2.5 with mgetty-0.98 and said motorola 
modem and isn't able to receive faxes. I inadvertently deleted most of 
the logfile (the part that sounded reasonable to me) and kept only the 
relevant parts, following below

Ok, fine so far...

Ok so far..

But what's that? Looks like there are problems with the modem??
And, BTW, why ERROR? If there's another problem, I'd expect NO CARRIER, 
but ERROR is strange..

Calling Motorola naturally didn't help and he's waiting for tests with 
Delrina...

But still, that ERROR really stuns me...
