This section describes problems that can occur when using various types of modems. Unfortunately, the class 2 fax implementations vary quite a bit between different manufacturers.
Many of the instructions for certain modem types below still refer to
changing #define
s in policy.h instead of listing the
appropriate mgetty.config/sendfax.config lines, mainly
because I haven’t had the time to figure it out myself and didn’t get
enough feedback from config file users yet.
