RE: [newbie] Re Fax programs

I kinda recall having problems getting my fax to work. Eventually I got it 
working with KdeprintFax using EFax as the back end with this as the command 
line used in 'Settings'
/usr/bin/fax 'NAME=%user' DEV=%dev PAGE=%page 'FROM=%from' send %res 
%number %files

You can test if your serial port is working OK if you open a terminal and type
echo ath1  /dev/modem

That should cause your modem to go Off Hook. (ath0 to go On Hook again)
If /dev/modem does not work try /dev/ttyS0

Is anybody aware of a simple Linux fax program that will work with a
group 1 fax modem (Hayes Accura external).

I have tried to use Hylafax but found the setup impossible.

Thanks Derek.
  
But I tried to get Efax working one time but it seems that it does not recognise
group 1 fax modems. Unless you know different, I don't think this is the
way to go.
