I finally picked up a "real" modem (not a winmodem) and put it in my machine. I pulled down the hsfmodem driver from the source, got a license and installed the driver at full power.

If I use wvdial, I can get out through the modem, so I know that works.

However, sendfax is rejecting the fax capability (from /var/log/sendfax.log):

Is there a newer version of sendfax I should get? This was the latest one available from yum on CentOS 5.0.

I also tried using 'fax' (in the efax package), and it also failed:

Any advice?
