fax fails, (invalid modem response)

Subject: fax fails, (invalid modem response)

For several years I have had a recurring problem with efax.  I am using a U.S. 
Robotics 56K Performance Pro, model 5610B.  I have tried several different 
modems, including a U.S. Robotics V-everything, all exhibit the same problem.  
I am now using Mandriva 2009.1, but I have had the same issue with several 
earlier Mandriva releases,   I don't believe I had this problem when I was 
using Windows 98 with WinFax PRO, although WinFax Pro doesn't work at all with 
Windows XP, at least not for me.

The problem is somewhat intermittent, although it happens more often than not.  
The program dials in, connects, but fails after it prints out a line about the 
header.  The message indicates, "done, returning 3 (invalid modem response)."  
If I resend the fax enough times, it will eventually get through, but it can 
fail many times, always with the same message.  I get this problem with all 
recipients two whom I fax, at least five.

I would appreciate help on this matter.

I would also like to know just how to set the configuration so that the modem 
does not answer incoming calls.

Below is a log of a failed fax.
