FD 2.20/ML users must set: [FDSETUP] Modem -> Fax -> Internal = "NO".

If you need hints for FrontDoor and Class 2.0, see "FD-USR.TXT".
If you need hints for FrontDoor and ZyXEL, see "FD-ZYXEL.TXT".
If you need hints for FrontDoor and Class 1, see "FD-HAYES.TXT".

Please make sure the following two items are true before proceeding...
(1) Your modem is NOT set to "Auto Answer" mode (REGISTER S0 MUST EQUAL 0)
(2) You have already put all relevant DATA commands for the BBS into NVRAM

Note that, generally, fax (AT+F) commands CANNOT be stored in NVRAM.

Here is the relevant information from FDSETUP ...

[FDSETUP] Modem -> Default Settings -> Command Strings
  Init-1 ... ATZ|
  Init-2 ... AT+FCR=1;+FDCC=1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0|
  Init-3 ... AT+FAA=1;+FLID="713 555 1212"|

; atz                      automatically recalls data commands in NVRAM
; +fcr=1                   enables fax receiption
; +flid="713 555 1212"     sets FAX ID, up to 20 characters, QUOTES REQUIRED
;
; +fdcc=1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0    allow high res, 9600, 1D compression [recommended]
; +fdcc=1,5,0,2,0,0,0,0    enable high resolution, 14400, 1D compression
; +fdcc=1,5,0,2,1,0,0,0    enable high res, 14400, 1D and 2D compression

[FDSETUP] Modem -> Default Settings -> Answer control

  Force answer ... ATA|
  Answer delay ... 2

; The Answer delay may need to be modified if you are using Caller ID.

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

==========================================================================

If you are using a modem that returns a "FAX" response ... [METHOD #1]
(Modems such as the Supra and Zoom).

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

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 /fax c:\bgfax 1 z
  fdrun.bat
:end

==========================================================================

If you are using a modem that returns a "+FCON" response ... [METHOD #2]
(Modems such as the PPI, GVC, and Intel).

[FDSETUP] Modem -> Default Settings -> Connect Messages
  Fax ... +FCON             <-- RIGHT
  Fax ... CONNECT +FCON     <-- THIS IS *WRONG*

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 /fast:4 c:\bgfax 1 z
  rem ---if /fast:4 gives you trouble, try using /fcon
  fdrun.bat
:end

==========================================================================

See BGFAX.DOC for a detailed description of the differences between
/FAX, /FAST, /FAST:nn and /FCON.
