Very Computer

Hi,

Recently bought a new 56K modem (the trusty old 14.4 finally died).
The new modem has a rockwell K56Flex chipset.  Problem is that I have
been unable to use it with mgetty+sendfax.  I tracked this down to the
fact that sendfax expects to be able to see a class "2.0" or "2" fax
modem.  The faxmodem I have will only accept being set to "1.0".

Do I throw out the modem?  Has anyone found a workaround etc?

Thanks in advance,

PS Modem is a Web Exel external.

Throw out mgetty+sendfax.

Use efax or hylafax instead.
