"not a class 2/2.0 fax modem" under sendfax?

[Miernik]

I'm trying to use mgetty+sendfax on Debian 2.0r2 on a Zoltrix 33k6
voice-fax-modem.

I get:

$ sudo sendfax 6342883 fax.g3
Trying fax device '/dev/ttyS2' . . . OK.
sendfax: not a class 2/2.0 fax modem
$

Please help...

P.S.: end of my /var/log/mgetty/sendfax.log file if that helps:

Here, the program is trying to tell your modem to start using the "class 2"
or
"class 2.0" fax protocol, which your modem can't do, therefore the error.

There are two types of fax modems, class 1 and class 2 (and class 2.0 which
are ever so slightly different). With class 1 modems, the host processor
does
all the dirtywork, including some pretty tight timing, while with class 2,
the
modem does all the work with respect to timing, retraining, etc. It makes a
lot of sense (and much easier programming) for the program to use class 2.

You can always find out what fax classes your modem supports by using
a terminal program and giving it the command:
AT+FCLASS=?
which will return the various classes supported (0 is a normal modem)
AT+FCLASS?
will return the current fax mode.
