Suzan,
Check that you can browse before you try faxing.
$ su - root
# wvdialconf wvtest
should find the modem using serial drivers for the Venus chipset modem.
Edit in your personal info with:
# gedit wvtest.
Then try a dialout with:
# wvdial --config wvtest

To whom it may concern
I have a web server running linux red hat and i have a problem with my
modem. For some reason, I could not send a fax through the modem.
I would like to confirm if my modem is working fine
i have run the scanmodem software but i could not understand the .TXT file.
I'm a new user for LINUX. Could you please help?
Thank you

Support type needed or chipset: Agere.Venus_serial_drivers
Vendor 11c1 is Lucent Technologies with modem technology now under LSI Inc.
Their Linux code developer/maintainer is Soumyendu Sarkar. Support for a chipset and its
continued maintenance is only initiated at the request of a major chipset buyer,
or comparable sponsor. Several different modem chipset types are produced:
with varying support under Linux.

agrsm-alpha.tar.bz2 potentially provides support for PCI_id chipsets
11c1:048c, 11c1:048f and 11c1:0620

8086:(2416 2426 7196 2486 24C6 24CD6 266D) are soft modem controllers, better
supported through ALSA modem drivers and the Smartlink slmodemd helper.
There has only been one reported success for 11c1:048c, 11c1:048f and 11c1:0620. See:

Interaction with experts will likely be necessary to get any of these modems working.
