Your modem (rather the driver) doesn't support Class2 or Class2.0 fax command sets.
Figures - I was planning to take it back anyway.
Thanks!
Any recommendations for actual genuine, non-winmodem, CHEAP modems?
And, yes, I realize that this is OT - should have said so up front....
Thanks again.

Go get yourself an external USRobotics Courier v.everything from eBay.

I decided to give my lovely winmodem LT/Agere modem one more shot with the martian driver - it seems to work (at least as well as the conexant did), but, again, senfax can't find it as a 2 or 2.0 class fax, and efax dies with a segfault.
Is this at all possible (using it for a fax) or is it hopeless?
Thanks.

P.S.: I'm beginning to like eBay - had a wildly successful bid for a scanner for 1 cent plus shipping, and it works.

All the more reason to quit wasting your time with that junk and go shopping for a USRobotics Courier v.everything -- external if you have a serial port available. I notice that there are several on ebay right now. If it has no manual included, download one from the mfr.

All external serial modems are real hardware modems.
Quite a few USB ones as well.

But you can't tell which. It's a mystery. Even if someone tells you that such-and-such model is a hardware modem, it could change in the box.
Getting an external serial modem is fool-proof.
