Gert,
            Thank you very much for your interest in this matter.  This
morning I re-queued the fax job, and tried sending them to a different fax
machine. ( In this case, another fax modem located in a different computer
using a 2nd phone line )  To my delight - Mgetty using the USR sportster
28.8 worked flawlessly.  So it looks as if the problem is with my "real" fax
machine - and not with Mgetty +sendfax.
For everyone's records - the machine that gave me problems is a "Brother
Fax400".

I think I will now try and test using other "real" fax machines to see if I
come across any other problems.

Here is the Sendfax.log from a failed transmission using the USR 28.8 fax
modem to the Brother Fax machine: *( I have changed my fax number and Ident
for Usenet posting to a format of xxx-yyy-zzzz)
