Assuming that "telnet to 2000+<line>" is not the proper way to do it,
I did some more searching on cisco.com and found the page that describes
how to setup a rotary group and telnet into 7000+<rotary>.

Went there, did that, same effect - dialout, remote side picks up,
a few seconds of handshake, NO CARRIER on the AS5300 side (while the
remote modem continues negotiating with "empty air" for some more time).

"term mon" displays this, in parallel:

47w3d: %ISDN-6-CONNECT: Interface Serial0:30 is now connected to 35663087 N/A
47w3d: %ISDN-6-DISCONNECT: Interface Serial0:30  disconnected from 35663087 , call lasted 8 seconds

so the router seems to think "all is well".

I am able to establish a data connection (ATZ, AT+FCLASS=0, ATD...), but
fax *just does not work*.


IOS version is c5300-is-mz.123-12.bin, and we're using the MICA firmware 
bundled with that IOS.


So what I'd really like to hear now is a success report "we're sending
faxes with an AS5300, this is our config, and *that* is the common
problem..."
