If you have a nice (and not too large) file containing your favorite BGFAX
setup, send them to me and I will see about putting them in the HELPME.ARJ
included with future versions of BGFAX.
===========================================================================
USR owners
----------
BGFAX 1.09 WILL WORK ONLY WITH USR BETA FIRMWARE (12/08 SUPERVISOR)!
If you own one of the brand new USR 21.6K Dual Standards with Class 2.0 fax
capabilities, you can send and receive faxes on your BBS lines. This is
the *ONLY* modem USR makes that is compatible with BGFAX. BGFAX does NOT
work with the Sportster line of modems.
See the included USR-FD.TXT file that describes how to accomplish this with
FD 2.11/SW. At this time, no documentation is available for users of
D'Bridge, etc. However, the USR-FD.TXT file should give you some basic hints
and suggestions that will allow you to use your modem with BGFAX.
ZyXEL owners
------------
See the included ZYXEL-FD.TXT file for an example of how to use the ZyXEL
with FD 2.11/SW.
Basically, the init strings are:
ATZ
AT#P713 555 1212
AT#B1+FCLASS=6
And the answer string is "ATA".
Supra owners
------------
BGFAX was originally tested using the 1.2H ROMs (no Caller ID) and the
data fixing 1.7B04 ROMs, but is now tested using the newly released
1.8 ROMs that fix some fax problems encountered in eariler versions.
BGFAX with NOT work with the Supra LC model since it only has Class 1.
PPI owners
----------
Some of the earlier PPI modems do not include Class 2 fax. You can buy an
upgrade ROM for approximately $30 that will let you use BGFAX, however, it
will only allow fax speeds up to 9600 rather than 14400. If you want to
use 14400 fax, you will have to get a new motherboard and datapump that
will cost you about $100. Most fax machines only support 9600 fax anyway
so this is not that much of a problem.
Please note that most PPI owners are using the newer models that include
both Class 1 and Class 2 fax at speeds up to 14400. If you think you might
have an older model, issue a "AT+FCLASS=?" command from your terminal
program. It it responds "0,1" you have an older model that needs the
upgrade in order to use Class 2. If it responds "0,1,2" you have a newer
model and BGFAX should work fine.
