Running Win XP with an Aztech CNR V92 Class 1 modem (which works fine on dial up & MS fax), no matter what I try I get the above error when sending, dials up then drops off. Please help, Symantec don’t really care (suggested modem error though it is working in other applications!) and I am about ready to kill. Have changed speeds, modem COM3 (in control panel) but appears in WF as TAPI. Any ideas?

What is your current initialiation string for this modem (configured in WinFax PRO) ?
and do you have high speed DSL on the same line you are sending faxes with? if so, do you use a filter supplied by your internet provider on your Aztec modem?

You might want to try the following settings (write down your current settings so you can always go back to the original)

Click Start, point to Programs, point to Symantec WinFax PRO, and then click Program Setup.
Select Modem and Communication Devices, and then click Properties.
Select your modem from the Connection Device list, and then click Properties.
Make sure the modem is setup as a Class 1 modem, uses TAPI, and initializes 19,200.
Click the Fax tab.
Use the following WinFax initialization strings:

Line 1: AT&F&C1&D2S7=60
Flow Control: AT+IFC=2,2;

Uncheck “Use Hardware flow control.”
Uncheck all three Options on the left.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
Click OK to return to the Program Setup dialog box.
Click Receive, and then click Properties.
Make sure “Automatically answer incoming calls” is selected, and change “Answer after” to three rings.
Click the After Receive tab.
Make sure no options are checked on this property sheet.
Click OK.
Click Close to exit Program Setup.

Thanks – have tried your suggestions with the same negotiation error. I don’t have high speed DSL and my current initialization string is:

Line 1: AT&F&D2&C1&H1S7=55
Line 2: ATS36=0
Flow Control: AT&H1

Any other suggestions? I would use MS fax however I need the facility to print the sent faxes log which I can’t do with this programme (at least I can’t figure out a way to do it).

Those settings are specfiic to a US Robotics type fax modem. Is the aztec modem using US Robotics firmware?

In Windows, open Phone and Modem options from Control Panel, select Modems, then properties, diagnostics, query modem. This will give you ATI3 , ATI4 command responses. Post the results here.

The modem you have installed uses the SmartLink chipset. Your configuration looks like its setup for a US Robotics Fax Modem, which is wrong. Try changing the init string and flow control as follows:

Line 1: AT&F&C1&D2S7=55
Line 2: (leave blank)
Flow Control: AT&K3

If you still have problems, try leaving the flow control field empty, or try AT&K4 and turn off Hardware Flow control.

Also see this web site for updated information on the SmartLink modem drivers;
http://www.modemsite.com/56k/smartlink.asp
and

There are new drivers for Windows XP dated March 2005.

Thank you soooo much 🙂 , after more than 40 hours spent trying to get Winfax going it now works. I downloaded the updated drivers – sent a fax – watched it negotiate – watched it train (and thought here we go again) and then watched for the first time it send a fax!

Thank you for continuing to respond to my posts, if Symantec had a support system up to the standards of this forum – they would have a lot less frustrated customers.

Good to hear, did the drivers solve the problem or was it a combination of the driver and the initialization string setting? What init string setting are you using now?

[justinet]

The drivers solved the problem. The init. string now used is AT&F&D2&C1&K3S7=55 with AT&K3 in the flow control. I have lost the sound on dialing up but what do I care – it works!!!

Thanks again.
