Never counted, but several sreen-fulls of them. It looks like
every line is affected.

I think I limited it to 9600 since the modem is on a DECT port of
our PBX (Hagenuk Europhone XL). But mgetty recognizes a correct
fax reception, gives the partner's station id and spools a fax
file. Would that tell me that the carrier handshake went o.k.?
