THIS FILE ASSUMES YOU ARE RUNNING THE *OS/2* VERSION OF LORA!

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.  Note that for standard
Class 2 modems, your dial strings do NOT need to be modified.

Make sure you are using at least Lora 2.40 Beta 3 and BGFAX 1.40 Beta N.
Prior versions of Lora/2 and BGFAX/2 may not work together correctly.

Here is the relevant information from LSETUP ...

[LSETUP] Modem -> 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"|

CAUTION: After you finish setting up Lora for BGFAX, verify that when Lora
         starts you are getting enough 'OK' responses from the modem.  In my
         brief experience with Lora, it appeared as if Lora was not waiting
         for an "OK" after sending each string to the modem.  That's why I
         put the two tildes (~~) after the ATZ|.  If this is true, then I
         suggest the authors of Lora fix this annoyance.  It makes it hard
         to use multiple init strings because of that.

  +fcr=1                   enables fax receiption
  +faa=1                   enables adaptive answering
  +flid="713 555 1212"     sets your FAX ID, up to 20 characters

  +fdcc=1,5,0,2,0,0,0,0    enable high resolution, 14400, 1D compression
  +fdcc=1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0    enable high resolution, 9600, 1D compression
  +fdcc=1,5,0,2,1,0,0,0    enable high res, 14400, 1D and 2D compression

[LSETUP] Modem -> Answer control
  Manual answer    Yes
  Force answer ... ATA|

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

If you are using a modem such as a Supra that returns a "FAX" response
proceed with the following instructions ( METHOD #1 ) ...

[LSETUP] Modem -> Hardware
   FAX Errorlevel ... 0             [Errorlevel 0 means use RCVFAX.CMD]
   FAX Message ...... FAX              <-- RIGHT
   FAX Message ...... CONNECT FAX      <-- THIS IS WRONG

Create a file called RCVFAX.CMD ...
  @echo off
  rem --- "z" is for zfax format
  bgfax2 /fax c:\bgfax h%3 z

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

If you are using a modem such as a PPI FXMT that returns a "+FCON" response
proceed with the following instructions ( METHOD #2 ) ...

[LSETUP] Modem -> Hardware
  FAX Errorlevel ... 0              [Errorlevel 0 means use RCVFAX.CMD]
  FAX Message ...... +FCON             <-- RIGHT
  FAX Message ...... CONNECT +FCON     <-- THIS IS WRONG

Create a file called RCVFAX.CMD ...
  @echo off
  rem --- "z" is for zfax format
  bgfax2 /fast:4 c:\bgfax h%3 z
  rem ---if /fast:4 gives you trouble, try using /fcon

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

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