If you need hints for FD 2.12 and Class 2.0, see "FD-USR.TXT".
If you need hints for FD 2.12 and ZyXEL, see "FD-ZYXEL.TXT".
If you need hints for FD 2.12 and Class 1, see "FD-HAYES.TXT".

Keep in mind that fax commands cannot be stored in NVRAM.  Note that for
standard Class 2 modems, your dial strings do not need to be modified.

Here is the relevant information from FDSETUP ...

[FDSETUP] Modem -> Command Strings
  Init-1 ... atz|
  Init-2 ... at+fcr=1;+fdcc=1,5,0,2,0,0,0,0|
  Init-3 ... at+flid="713 555 1212"|

  +fcr=1                   enables fax receiption
  +flid="713 555 1212"     sets your FAX ID, up to 20 characters

  +fdcc=1,5,0,2,0,0,0,0    enable high resolution, 14400 fax
  +fdcc=1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0    enable high resolution, 9600 fax

Do not attempt to give a 9600 maximum speed send/receive fax modem the 1,5
string as it will cause unpredicable results.

[FDSETUP] Modem -> Answer control
  Manual answer    Yes
  Force answer ... at+faa=1;a|
  Answer delay ... 2

The "at+faa=1;a" causes the modem to answer adaptively, i.e., to
automatically determine whether the incoming call is fax or data and return
the response to the modem.  The Answer delay may need to be modified if you
are using Caller ID.

[FDSETUP] Mailer -> Errorlevels
  Fax ... 255

==========================================================================

If you are using a modem such as a Supra that returns a "FAX" response
proceed with the following instructions ( METHOD #1 ) ...

[FDSETUP] Modem -> Default Settings -> Messages
   Fax ... FAX

FDRUN.BAT should contain something similar to ...

@echo off
c:
cd\fd
fd
if errorlevel 255 goto fax 
if errorlevel 103 maint.bat
if errorlevel 102 toss.bat
if errorlevel 101 local.bat
if errorlevel 100 dobbs.bat
goto end
:fax
  rem ---1 is for com1 and z is for zfax format
  bgfax /fax c:\bgfax 1 z
  fdrun.bat
:end

==========================================================================

If you are using a modem such as a PPI FXMT that returns a "+FCON" response
proceed with the following instructions ( METHOD #2 ) ...

[FDSETUP] Modem -> Messages
  Fax ... +FCON

FDRUN.BAT should contain something similar to ...

@echo off
c:
cd\fd
fd
if errorlevel 255 goto fax
if errorlevel 103 maint.bat
if errorlevel 102 toss.bat
if errorlevel 101 local.bat
if errorlevel 100 dobbs.bat
goto end
:fax
  rem ---1 is for com1 and z is for zfax format
  bgfax /fast c:\bgfax 1 z
  rem ---if /fast gives you trouble, try using /fcon
  fdrun.bat
:end
