Hello All.

  After pouring over the docs, I can find no further help to get my
BGFax/PCB/2 setup going.  It will work maybe once, but then fails on all
subsequent attempts. I'm using USR Couriers with the latest SDL 2/97.  Warp 3.0
and SIO 160 16 port registered... as is my version 170 of BGFax. I have had the
faxback of USRobotics very busy sending me faxes... I figure their faxes should
at least work :-)  In no case has any other fax machine worked.

Here is the relevant info:

Modem init strings are exactly as in the docs, except that the answer string
has to have some pauses set so that the adaptive answer works i.e.

      ~~~~AT+FAA=1;A


 From my config.sys:

device=c:\sio160\sio.sys (com2:38400,2f8,irq3,-) (com3:57600,2A8)
(com4:57600,3E8) (5,INTERNET:1F8,NONE)
rem the above is not word-wrapped, of course :-)
device=c:\sio160\vsio.sys
device=c:\sio160\vx00.sys

 From my rcvfax.cmd:

@echo off
pushd c:\sio160
su 2 lock 0
popd
pushd f:\bgfax
bgfax2 /fco:4 f:\bgfax V2 z
popd
board.cmd

 From the BGFax logfile:

You might need to try adjusting the /FCO:4 parameter.  Try using a /FCO:8, 
/FCO:2, or /FCO:0 and see if any of those work better.
