All FD*.TXT files are good for both FD 2.12/SW and FD 2.20/ML.  One note
is needed for FD 2.20/ML: [FDSETUP] Modem -> Fax -> Internal = "NO".

Keep in mind that fax commands CANNOT be stored in NVRAM.  Be sure that
your modem is NOT set to "Auto Answer" mode.  REGISTER S0 MUST EQUAL 0.
This is a data register and CAN be set in NVRAM.

Here is the relevant information from FDSETUP ...

[FDSETUP] Modem -> Default Settings -> Command Strings
  Dial ..... AT
   Prefix .. +FCLASS=0;DT
  Init-1 ... ATHZ|
  Init-2 ... AT+FCLASS=1|
  Init-3 ... AT+FAE=1|

[FDSETUP] Modem -> Default Settings -> Answer control
  Manual answer    Yes
  Force answer ... ATA|
  Answer delay ... 2

The "at+fae=1" causes the modem to answer adaptively, i.e., to automatically
determine whether the incoming call is fax or data and return the response
to the modem.  The Answer delay may need to be modified if you are using
Caller ID in the Supra LC modem or an external box with the Hayes 288.

[FDSETUP] Modem -> Default Settings -> Messages
  Fax ... CONNECT FAX       <-- THIS IS WRONG
  Fax ... FAX               <-- RIGHT, GOOD, OKAY

[FDSETUP] Mailer -> Errorlevels
  Fax ... 255

FDRUN.BAT should contain something similar to ...

@echo off
c:
cd\fd
fd
if errorlevel 255 goto fax 
if errorlevel 103 maint.bat
if errorlevel 102 toss.bat
if errorlevel 101 local.bat
if errorlevel 100 dobbs.bat
goto end
:fax
  rem ---1 is for com1 and z is for zfax format
  bgfax /fhay:713_555_1212 c:\bgfax 1 z
  rem ---if that fails, try /fax:713_555_1212
  fdrun.bat
:end
