[hsflinux] HSF as a fax answers the phone but doesn't beep

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

documentation in PDF format is available at the bottom of this page:

http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php

This file describes all the supported AT commands as well as their 
expected return values by the driver.

The new log file shows that there is an attempt to send or receive a FAX 
but it fails for some reason. You could try with a different FAX 
software to see if there is a difference. You could also try with the 
'AT &F' init. string just to make sure it's not the source of the problem.

Regards,
