     A friend has tried to FAX me from a Brother
Personal FAX 190.  The following is the log reading
from his attempt.  Any clues as to what to do?  Thanks.

You can try adjustin the /FCO:nn parameter until you get it to work with
the Brother.  Try using /FCO:4 or /FCO:8 and see if it works any better.
 
Otherwise, tell the user that when he tries to send you a fax, to hit the
"START" (or "SEND") button on the fax machine IMMEDIATELY after dialing
the last digit of your telephone number.  Many times, with the USR modem,
this is required.

     /FCO:4 didn't work, but /FCO:8 did just fine.
Thanks.

     There are some other machines that have had
problems sending to me, but I don't know what they are
(or, in some cases, who from).  It'll be interesting to
seer if this solves them all.  The guy with the Brother
was easy to "play" with.  Thanks again.
