Gert,

Thanks for the response.

I tried using "modem-type cls2", but my modem cannot do that at all.
Guess I will just have to use class 1 (using efax) for fax reception,
that seems to work okay.  For sending faxes, class 1 (efax) does not
work very well, but class 2.0 (sendfax) works perfectly.

Leigh.

PS. Congratulations on a great program.  Also I appreciate the
effort you put in responding to people's problems in this forum,
it is great to able to communicate directly with the programmer.
