#HELP GPFax won't fax out
I've recently purchased and installed GPFax (Version 2.346) and it
looks great except for one thing — I can't fax out.
Symptoms: When I try to fax out, the modem will connect to the receiving
fax machine, and then proceed through the handshaking "training at xxxx"
sequence all the way down to 2400 before saying "Training Failed (Noisy)"
and quitting. I've tried sending to three different fax machines and a
fax modem with the same result. Ironically, although I bought the
software mostly to fax out, I've had no problem with receiving faxes,
including faxes from some of the same machines I've had trouble sending
to.
Setup: Modem: Zoom faxmodem 14.4EX, Model 160 (Class 1), connected to an
Amiga 3000 running Workbench 2.04. I've tried both MODEMTYPE=144LC and
MODEMTYPE=GENERICC1, and briefly experimented with most of the other class
1 types. I started with the default initialization string and have tried
many combinations in an effort to enable the settings mentioned in
Appendix B of the manual.
The default register settings on my modem are:

at&v
ACTIVE PROFILE:
B1 E1 L1 M1 N1 Q0 T V1 W0 X4 Y0 &C0 &D0 &G0 &J0 &K3 &Q6 &R1 &S0 &T4 &X0
&Y0
S00:000 S01:000 S02:043 S03:013 S04:010 S05:008 S06:002 S07:050 S08:002
S09:006 S10:014 S11:095 S12:050 S18:000 S25:005 S26:001 S36:007 S37:000
S38:020 S44:020 S46:138 S48:007 S95:000
——————————————————–
My current initialization string is: AT&FE0&K4&C1&D2S7=90
^^^^^
adding "E0" and "&K4" to the default to ensure that command echo was
disabled and that XON/XOFF was used (although I've also experimented with
RTS/CTS); these settings still don't work, though. The
successfully-received faxes came through with both the default string and
the above one.
Other info: Following are the modem's firmware revision code (ATI3) and
the data pump model and revision code (ATI6), in case they're useful in
troubleshooting:

I'm fresh out of ideas, and hope someone here can help. Thanks.
