You said multi-page, but what you sent is actually just one page. 
However, it does work OK in non-ECM mode and fails in ECM mode. The ECM 
exchange looks fine in the early stages. The training data is exchanged 
and acknowledged OK. When the ECM image data is sent, the far end just 
seems to ignore it, and after a long time is sends a disconnect. I see 
no obvious reason why. This is not the first time I have seen exactly 
this behaviour, but I haven't figured out what goes wrong. This is 
frustrating.
