>Description:
	When sending a fax, actual fax transmission aborts a few
	seconds (according to log) after starting the first page;
	the receiving fax machine prints the first ca. three (dot) lines.

	The sendfax process sees this error at this point:

	09/24 08:30:53 y00   input: got [0d][0a]+FHS:43[0d][0a]

	FHS:43 is "DTE to DCE data underflow  "

	which points to something broken with flow control.
	Debug output sees us sending more data, 64bytes at a time,
	continuing until the page has been sent.

	the serial used is com0 - see above.

>How-To-Repeat:
	faxspool ... ; faxrunq
>Fix:
	workaround: rebooting to the 5.1.3_PATCH kernel
	(obviously only with 5.1.3 userland)

>Unformatted:
 
 On this kernel,
 
 	checked with 5.1.3_PATCH userland / mgetty-1.1.37nb9
 	checked with 6.1_PATCH   userland / mgetty-1.1.37nb10
 
 resulting in the same error.
