If you could, could you cross post this message to BIX and Genie? there is a good chance that Dale Schlott has an account on one of those services. The FastFax's software that I have is buggy, and I need to get it fixed or replaced. Michtron is out of business, and it seems that the author is my only hope of getting this thig to work right. I recently purchased a FASTFAX FAX modem, for my amiga computer, and I am having problems with it. MichTron, the manufacturer of the FASTFAX system, has gone out of business. I am unable to receive faxes, because the machine often errors in receiving a fax, then refuses to let one try again. Here is what happens: FASTFAX answers ok, and often receives the first page ok, but it always hangs on second page. then, the carrier detect light stays on, even after it hangs up the phone line, and then you call again, the fax refuses to answer the phone Also, the scheduler dosen't work. The first Item I schedule seems to be OK but clicking "schedule" on more than one destination, or any following destinations, brings up a large requester on the workbench saying: DISK ERROR binsert 3 Of course, I have NO IDEA what that means. I believe that I might have a bad version of the software, as theses bugs are so obvious that its hard to imagine the product is shipped normally like this. The serial number on the disk is 1017. If you could send me a new disk, without these problems, I would like that. If necessary, I will pay for shipping. Also, I need some technical information on the fax modem itself. I know it was manufactured by Digital Data Systems Inc, and it is model 9600 FASTFAX, serial number 89420065. I need to know the native command set, what parameters can be changed and how, the jumper settings, all that stuff. Thank you. Please respond via email to me, Charles Hymes chymes@csmil.umich.edu
