Write your reply.

assistant: David A. Beisel wrote the following to ALL, and I quote (in part):
The prime requirement is the use of a modem that incorporates support for
adaptive answering using the Class 2 or 2.0 fax command set.
With that requirement met:
1. Configure the modem such that it is in adaptive answering mode (this will
vary somewhat depending on the command set the modem uses)
For a modem which supports the Class 2 command set, the answer string would
be somewhat akin to:
AT+FCLASS=2|``AT+FLID="713 458 0237";AT+FAA=1+FCR=1;+FDCC=1,3,0,2,0,0,0;A
and similar to:
AT+FCLASS=2\.0|``AT+FLI="713 458 0237";+FAA=1+FBO=1+FNR=1,1,1,1;A
for a modem which supports Class 2.0
2. Define the modem's response to an incomming fax call via a ModemFax entry
in your config file.
Eg.
ModemFax     +FCON  ; for Class 2
ModemFax     +FCO  ; for Class 2.0
3. For a Class 2 device it will also be necessary that you -not- lock your
port, instead allowing Binkley to lock it upon detection of specific
conditions via LockBaud directives in your config file.
Eg.
lockbaud /ARQ
Lockbaud /VFC
Lockbaud /V34
Lockbaud /V32
You must also include a FaxBaud directive to change the port speed to
19.2kbps
for a Class 2 device.
Eg. Faxbaud 19200
Step 3 is not required for devices which siupport the Class 2.0 command set.
4. Declare a reception directory in your Binkley.Cfg file
Eg.  FaxInDir      D:\BINK\FAX-IN\
4. Define a period in your event file during which Binkley is allowed to
answer incomming calls.
I highly recommend that you upgrade to v2.60.
No.

Febbs 1.96b is "supposed to", but the function causes a solid lockup
here.  It starts the process, extracts the FILE_ID.DIZ but doesn't
import it into the editor.  It's at that point a solid lockup occures.
A couple of others have the exact same problem.  I'm using a DOS only
setup.  1.96b is DMPI and I have all 4 megs XMS (NOEMS).
