Problem
Problems Faxing With US Robotics Sportster Modem. The Sportster will connect with another fax device, but will not handshake (send or receive) data in WordPerfect. Eventually the modem will time out. ANSWER: Run the CAS Setup utility (SETUP.EXE), usually located where the fax files are installed. Select option 2. Hardware Driver Setup. The third line down will say Optional Parameters. On the Optional Parameters line, type /TYPE=107 /FIFO. (In some cases, going into the Miscellaneous Setup and changing the Highest Fax Speed to 9600 may also resolve this problem.) Press F10 to save this and return to DOS. Reload FAXDIR and FAXB. In some situations, the above Optional Parameters string has helped. Causes: It appears that this is some kind of handshaking issue. The Sportster modem is less compatible with WordPerfect fax drivers because the technology used to create the Sportster is newer than the fax drivers were written to handle. This issue has been reported to development. |
