file, the setup I followed is the following:

In Portal of Power .61 with a SmartOne 1442FX

Under standard modem options:
Modem pre-init :  ~^ate0m0w2&d2&c1+fdcc=1,5|
Modem init     :  ~at+fcr=1;+flid="209 738 1370"|
Modem Answer   :  at+faa=1;a|

Under advanced modem options:
Exit on FAX

Then use ADDEX between your fossil and the POP-mailer.

My system is a 486-DLC, with 16550A com ports, FastCache64 SCSI with Imprimis
320 meg HD.  My configuration requires the use of /FAST option in BGFAX to get
a reliable connection.


Hope this may help out other users who are using Portal with BGFAX



BTW: Excellent software!
