Hi Jacques
Many thanks to you for your help.
I still have one question, do i need to enter my Phone, Password &
Username in the wvdial.conf file since i am only wanting to fax out?
and if yes, is it then asking for the Root password?
Btw, i also noticed that owner and group for ttySHSF0 is both showing
root
rick@rick-laptop:~$ ls -la /dev/modem
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2008-01-23 09:16 /dev/modem -> ttySHSF0
rick@rick-laptop:~$
Is this why i cannot fax out thru efax. You have any idea...jacques?
I do not know if the following output from efax will be helpful to you
but i will do it anyway..if the length of this email is a bother to
you ..do pls forgive.
Socket running on port 9900
