BGFAX 1.08 SUN 21 NOV 93 ------------------------- 1. Added ZyXEL Class Fax Receive. Now, BGFAX can directly use the ZyXEL's fax routines. Now, you can use AT#B1+FCLASS=6 to initialize the modem in ZyXEL fax mode, and using the regular "ATA" to answer the phone. Example rear-end command line: BGFAX /FAX C:\BGFAX 1 Z When BGFAX loads, it will see the "ZyXEL" string come out of your modem and shift to ZyXEL fax mode, rather than Class 2 fax mode. If for some reason, the above does not work, you can try: BGFAX /FZYX C:\BGFAX 1 Z You should use this parameter if your mailer exits on the string "ZyXEL" rather than the string "CONNECT FAX". 2. Added FOSSIL support. If BGFAX's internal communication routines work, there is no reason to use FOSSIL support. FOSSIL support does not currently work with any send mode. To use FOSSIL mode use the following method to your batch file that calls BGFAX: If you are using a ZyXEL (or modem that does not require a shift to 19200 when receiving faxes): BGFAX /FAX C:\BGFAX 1 Z If you are using a non-ZyXEL modem: BNU /L0=0 BGFAX /FAX C:\BGFAX F1 Z BNU /L0=38400 Note the "F1" means for BGFAX to use the FOSSIL on COM1. The "/L0=0" parameter on BNU means for BNU to "unlock the port". Why? Because, the FOSSIL driver will *ignore* a DTE shift request when its in "locked" mode. BGFAX will be unable to relock your port with the FOSSIL driver, so that is the purpose of the second BNU line. It re-locks COM1 at 38400 (or whatever) rate you want to use. 3. New BGFAX.CNF option for sending. "DT=60". This sets a "dial timeout" to 60 seconds. (i.e., when sending an outgoing fax, BGFAX 1.06 and below would always cancel out after 40 seconds. Now it's settable.) 4. Added another test environment variable. "SET FAXDLY=17" will cause BGFAX to hang loose for 1.7 seconds before doing anything. You should never have to use this. The number specified is in deciseconds.
