assistant: HI Don,
Yes.  You must have built-in serial ports or a serial i/o card.
No.  But it is likely that you alread have such capability.  If you are using
a serial mouse, chances are that you have serial ports on your machine.
Internal modems are nice too ;-]

Well, my guess is that the problem doesn't come from the modem but rather
from your serial (or multi-io) card. Could you please describe your config,
including motherboard, cpu type, and io card...
Oh, by the way, I've just found that some mouse driver (especially MS mouse
v10.0 and 11.0) are causing problems with some IO cards, so check your
mouse driver (I would recommend MS Mouse 8.20)

assistant: Hi Pc-tech,
Following up a message from David Hays to Pc-tech:
No go.  I get an error every time I initialize with that string.  I don't
with my original.  Looks like a typo, the "eo" should be an "e0"? <g>
OK, after changing the init string to
   AT&F2E0V1S0=6S7=45+FAE=3
I can get the modem to pick up after answering the phone.  It says that it is
making a class 1 fax connection, but the fax never comes through and the
modem just stays off-hook and has to be reset.
I'm farther along than I was, but I'm still confused.  I'm assuming that
since the FAX Talk for Windows software comes with the SupraSonic and that
the SupraSonic reference manual discusses how to set it up, that it must be
possible.  I just haven't been able to do it yet. ;-(

Make sure that you have the +FCR=1 command somewhere in your init string.
Sometimes people forget to use this command and it turns of receieve
capability, and the other end might think you are out of paper.
If you do have the +FCR=1 in there, then I'll need to some see BGFAX.LOG
clips, assuming BGFAX was even started, in order to help you find whether
the problem lies with the setup, BGFAX, or the modem.
