- I also am being sent a new chip but until I receive it I am continuing to try.
- I found that the USR did not respond to an incoming fax if I tried to send it
- manually, that is, wait until the faxmodem responds with the handshaking tones
- then press the "green button". HOWEVER, if I programmed the faxmachine for
- automatic fax send, it apparently sends out the proper tones for the USR to
- recognize, then the USR responds, and everything is OK. Not too good though
- because everyone doesn't have telephone numbers programmed into their fax machine
- to send everyone else a fax.
-
- Hope the new chip works.
