TxFAX is doing the right thing, according to the spec. If you don't know how to handle RTN you should disconect. spandsp has not yet been taught how to retrain and retransmit properly.


Okay, so it's not an error.  It's an unimplemented feature.  :-)

However, this is largely irrelevant. On modern lines a retransmit should be rare.


Yes, agreed. On a digital receiver I've seen it only 5 times in the last week of 672 applicable (non-ECM) faxes... although those statistics may be skewed due to the receiver supporting ECM (the vast majority of faxes - - were received with ECM).

Lately lots of people are reporting this problem to me, and I have not had time to investigate why it happens. Some say it happens with specific machines, and some with all machines.


One of the nice things about ECM is that it generally gives a very accurate picture of any Phase C data corruption, and that can help lead to an understanding as to the nature of any problems. It's helped me find modem flow-control problems as well as modulator flaws that were causing the modulator itself to generate interference. You may want to try running some faxes through your unicall T.31 modem to/from HylaFAX to see if the error lies within the common underlying interfaces, or whether or not it is something specific to txfax or libtiff.
