Thread: BGFAX & Harmony 33.6k  (1/4)
  Date: 28-May-97, 1:37pm  (Ref# 5377)

 Hi Folks

 Has anyone succeded in getting BGFax to work with a Harmony 33.6k
 modem.  The mondem is a class 1 fax, and uses the Rockwell chipset
 RCV336ACF/SP.

 I'd realy appreciate any help with this, as I'm trying to set this
 modem up on a friends system, and he wants to use the fax side as well.
 The modem works fine as a modem, it answers as a Fax under Winfax etc,
 but as yet unable to get it working with his FD/RA/OS2.  I suspect that
 this modem and perhaps chipset has a flawed adaptive answering.

 Cheers

 Walter

That's always a possibility.
 
The init strings for Class 1 adaptive answering is fairly simple:
 
ATZ
AT+FCLASS=1
AT+FAE=1
 
Answer with "ATA"
 
The fax connection string is "FAX"

 Hi B.J.

 BG> The init strings for Class 1 adaptive answering is fairly simple:

 Nod, I know that from your docs - and have set it up that way, however
 when a call comes in it answers, then drops carrier - and then freezes,
 hence my original question - has anyone succeeded in getting one of
 these modems to work <g>.  They appear to be fine either as a modem or
 as a FAX system, but do not appear to be able to (for the sake of a
 term) task switch.

 I've seen you programme working with Zooms, Zoltrix, USR's Hayes, and
 would have thought it would work with the Harmony - which has the
 Rockwell Chip set, but it is beginning to look as if these modems may
 have Faulty Adaptive answering - which is no reflection on your
 Programme, but a reflection on the modem.

 Thanks for your reply.

 Regards

 Walter

Show me a clip of the BGFAX.LOG for when this happens, and I can look more 
closely at the problem.
