SYMPTOMS
This information applies to both Microsoft DoubleSpace and Microsoft DriveSpace. For MS-DOS 6.22, use DRVSPACE in place of DBLSPACE for commands and filenames.

Angia Communications Technical Support has confirmed that ANY fax software program may have problems operating on a DoubleSpace- compressed drive when using Angia Communications modems.



CAUSE
A problem exists in the ability of the software to synchronize read speeds from a compressed disk while utilizing an Angia Communications modem. Angia Technical Support confirms that this problem occurs with any type of disk-compression software, including Stacker and SuperStor.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, Angia suggests copying the fax software package to the uncompressed drive.
