I am wondering why on the 2d or 3d attempt at dialing a number, you can hear it dialing the number very slowly and all outgoing fax numbers have commas inserted between numbers?
The slow dial you experienced is ‘Safe Dialing mode’. The slow dialing is a result of previous unsuccessful send fax attempt. Slow dialing, by default starts on 2nd attempt. You can change it to some higher value in Server Parameters – Modem Request dialog. Set “Safe Dial Start Attempt” to 4, for example, and up to 4th attempt the full speed will be used. You can disable Safe dial if you set the “Safe Dial Start Attempt” value higher than the maximum “Total Dial Attempts”. In Safe Dialing mode, transmit speed is reduced to 4800 bps and the digit dialing is extended to account for possible poor transmission conditions on the phone line.
