Package: efax Version: 1:0.9a-19 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
for compatibility with some class 2 modems efax allows the received image data to have its bit in each byte reversed. It uses this mode by default unless the protocol is explicitly set to class 1 or 2.0 with -o1 or -o0 or reversing is switched off with -or. The problem is that the bits are still reversed when the protocol is selected automatically, regardless of the protocol version used. This is because the bit reversal table is initialized in begin_session() while the protocol is detected later in modem_init(). When faxes are received with the wrong bit order, all lines of the image will have errors since no line decodes to the correct width. Sending faxes is unaffected by this problem as there is no bit reversal, even with class 2. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
