Occasionally clients will receive email messages from the FaxFinder that pertain to faxes that have failed 
partially or entirely.  That is, some or all of the intended pages of the fax may arrive in a form that cannot 
be read.  Here is the sequence of events you may encounter and the proper response. 

1. The client user receives an email message from the FaxFinder about a partially or wholly failed fax sent 
to him/her.  

2. Advise the sender of the fax to re-send all or part of the fax.  

3. If the fax was only partially a failure, then TIFF files for the successful pages will be attached.  If any 
pages of the fax failed, then an additional file will be attached to the email message.  It will have a name 
like modem0modem1_date-time.txt.  This is the modem log file. 

4. The modem log file contains information about the “conversation” between the sending modem and the 
FaxFinder’s receiving modem.  This information may be valuable to the FaxFinder administrator in 
protecting the fax system and preventing future errors. 

5. The client user should forward the modem log file to the FaxFinder administrator in an email message.  
The FaxFinder administrator’s email address should be viewable in any fax you have received via the 
FaxFinder.
