supports Class 1. I use mgetty and although since it does not support
Class 1 I cannot receive faxes, I can send them easily with the
excellent efax package.
Sendfax can only handle Class 2, IIRC Class 1 is time critical which
cannot guaranteed under unix.
That said, your problem may not be that it doesn't support class
2/2.0 (which mgetty requires, as I have stated). Since you have
logging turned on ('-x 5') why don't you post the log here? You should
find it in /var/log/mgetty.
NOTE: USR Sportster (at least my 28.8) supports class 1 2.0. If you
want to see what classes your modem supports, get into a COM program
(in DOS/Win/Linux doesn't matter) and give your modem the command:
AT+FCLASS=?
It should print a list of what classes it supports.
Ah, interesting, hopefully I'm also allowed to use minicom, cu or
kermit as I have Linux installed and I'm not going to install Dos :-)
Fine, it can handle 2.0, too. I might want to expand our Fax service.
Thanks a lot!!!

Problem with sendfax?
Hello all, I am runnig Debian 1.2/Linux 2.0.29/Mgetty+SendFax 1.0 and I would like to send faxes with my modem which is on /dev/ttyS0 So, I have converted a .ps file to a .g3 file using gs, and I try to send it : nathalie# sendfax -x 5 -v 0320137288 /home/sbriole/ISEN/fax.g3 Trying fax device '/dev/ttyS0'... OK. sendfax: cannot set fax station ID So : what can I do? I thank you in advance for your answer(s), Sylvain. Sylvain Briole | SysOp d'Eclice B.B.S.

Yada, yada, yada. I believe you are correct. I've never had a problem
though!! Hey, nothing in life is guaranteed. Also, since we're being
picky, sendfax can handle class 2 class 2.0, which are not the same
thing, class 2 being an industry de facto standard which became
widely used before the official standard, (2.0) was deployed.

Cool. Save trees! Why print to paper? Why print something in Word/Lyx
just to stick it in the fax machine and then toss the hardcopy? I've
been meaning to set up a fax server here where all faxes are received
via modem and then a thumbnail image is generated and emailed to certain
people (with MIME and html content) and a URL is stuck in there which
goes to the server allowing them to view the full-size image and allow
them to print, delete, or hold on to the fax. Especially since we get
a lot of junk faxes, this would reduce paper wastage quite a bit.
