Re: Clean North Fax is NOT DOWN

[Kathie Brosemer <kathie@cleannorth.org>]

Hi Don,

Actually, it isn't.  Dan's checked the phone/fax logs and his reply is 
below.  Something was apparently "malformed" (whatever that means) in the 
test faxes you sent, perhaps try again.  If it happens again that you think 
the fax is down, first thing is to check the printer queue to see if 
there's something clogging the printer and preventing the fax to come 
through.

Apparently the faxes you had expected from others were not sent.  The logs 
show no incoming except a voice call to that number, between May 30 and 
today.  Maybe check with the sender about that.

May 30 10:10:04.43: [11914]: REMOTE HANGUP: Normal and proper end of 
connection (code 0)
May 30 10:10:04.43: [11914]: RECV FAX: bin/faxrcvd "recvq/fax00306.tif"

There was one failed attempt (that looks like a voice call) between this
properly received fax on May 30 and your two tests today.

I don't know what your test fired at it, but it was malformed.

We have missed precisely zero faxes.  I have logs of every time that phone 
rings and every packet of fax data that flies by on it.

Jim just attempted to connect via data link without issue.
