[Asterisk-Users] RxFax - Fast carrier training failed

The issue with the fax machine not answering was actually a physical
wiring issue (crosstalk with another line, its an old building) that is
now resolved.
Though the above shouldn't have affected RxFax from receiving a fax,
(since the FXO card plugs directly in to the demark) I decided to
disable the rx/tx gains and try sending a fax again. On one line, it
failed with a freq. of 1860. So I tried a different line and it seemed
to work a little better. It received the fax, wrote the .tif file, but
the .tif file is completely screwed up (looked like the fax was squished
into the first 1/4 of the page).
That was Try #1, Try #2 went a lot faster (picked a less complex page to
fax) but still, the resulting .tif file is just a bunch of lines and
dots. Completely unrecognizable.
Is this a problem on my end, or is spandsp just not playing nice with my
fax machine? Is there something I can do to help debug the issue?
