YOU MUST BE USING BINKLEY 2.60... DO NOT USE THE 2.59 BETAS OR EARLIER.
Here is a clip from the BINKLEY.CFG file...

Miscellaneous notes about BINKLEY.CFG...
1. The "123" number I choose in the "ExtrnMail" verb above is just a
dummy number. Since we are spawning to EXTMAIL.CMD, the number
itself does not make any difference
2. The "\" character used in the PreInit and Init strings allow
Binkley to "escape" the following character, e.g., \. sends a
period. If we did not put a "\.", Binkley would convert the
period to a comma, and we do not want that.
3. The dial Prefix "AT+FCLASS=0;DT" instead of just "ATDT" is to make
sure the modem is in data mode (+FCLASS=0) when making outgoing
calls.
4. Binkley will NOT report modem initialization errors and this makes
finding errors almost impossible.
It is NORMAL to see the ARQ/FAX light blink when Binkley is running when
using this configuration. If it does NOT blink, something is wrong.
The other important file we must create is EXTMAIL.BAT|CMD, which will
reside in the Binkley directory.
EXTMAIL.CMD (If you are using Binkley and BGFAX for OS/2)
~~~~~~~~~~~
@c:\bgfax\bgfax2 /fco:4 c:\bgfax h%3 z
EXTMAIL.BAT (If you are using Binkley and BGFAX for DOS)
~~~~~~~~~~~
@c:\bgfax\bgfax /fco:4 c:\bgfax 1 z
Miscellaneous notes about EXTMAIL.BAT|CMD...
1. This file contains just the one line.
2. The "h%3" just tells BGFAX to use the com port HANDLE as provided
by Binkley during the spawn. OS/2 version. Do not change.
3. The DOS version of BGFAX does not use com port handles, so you must
tell it which com port to use (thus, the "1" for COM1).
4. Since we are using a USR (Class 2.0) modem, we do not have to worry
about all that port lock-unlock garbage. You should NOT need to use
the SU utility for anything.
5. You might have to make changes to the "/fco:4" parameter depending upon
how fast or slow your machine is. The /fco:4 requires a pretty fast
machine (my 486dx4/100 seems to work okay with it). On slower machines,
you might want to try a /fco:0 or /fco:2
If Binkley/2 is working correctly, your BINKLEY.LOG will show an entry
like this...
+ 18 Apr 00:05:22 BINK begin, BinkleyTerm-OS/2 Ver. 2.60 -IBMC/2
# 18 Apr 00:05:31 BINK Ring
# 18 Apr 00:05:38 BINK +Fco
: 18 Apr 00:05:39 BINK Spawning external mailer
: 18 Apr 00:06:00 BINK Returned from external mailer
* 18 Apr 00:06:04 BINK Seconds: 31 Tariff: 0 Fee: 0 System: FAX
: 18 Apr 00:06:04 BINK Exit after receiving mail with errorlevel 20
+ 18 Apr 00:06:04 BINK end, BinkleyTerm-OS/2 Ver. 2.60 -IBMC/2
Notice that after the fax is received, Binkley will go ahead and exit
with the errorlevel defined by E2= in the BINKLEY.EVT file after BGFAX
releases control back to Bink. Again, this happens AFTER the BGFAX
transfer has already happened.
