(6) (a) Select "Function Keys". Press (b) Move the cursor to an unused Function Key and enter the following; + dr:\DB\BGFAX\FAXOFF This allows you to turn off the fax arrival notification.

Guillot... I don't think you need the "INIT AT+FCLASS=2" line in the MCF Also, I modified the "INIT AT+FDCC=" line. I also took his "TRANSLATE" strings out of the MCF file since they seemed to be optimized for a USR modem instead of a Rockwell-based modem.
