Hi all, I'm having a problem with a fax server at one of my client
site.

I recently installed the SBS 2003 fax server feature with a brand new
USR 325610B (56K Performance Pro Modem). I have a couple of clients
using this same setup with no problems. The driver and firmware have
been updated to the latest version.

We can send fax with no problem. Receiving is a little more tricky.
Some will go thru no problem, others will be partially received, and
this morning while performing some test with a client, were not
received at all.

The partially received ones will give me this error in the event
viewer:

The ones I'm not receiving at all will give me this error, and will
not even show in the fax console:

I'm at a loss here, as I already set the answer ring to 2, and
disabled compression on the modem.

It is really important I get this fixed, because most of the failed
faxes are from my clients main supplier: it's an important part of
their business.

I did plug back the old fax machine so they could receive their fax,
but it's only a temporary thing.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Stephane

Hi Stephane,

Is this SBS 2003 R2 ?

Any VoIP or DSL on the lines you are testing with ?

When you say "I have a couple of clients using this same setup with no
problems" are they using identicle hardware, firmware, and drivers ?
I ask this question becuase in most of the fax world USR modems have a
terrible reputation.
