Hi there jacques
-------
This section is the your email reply to my request for help
-------
Rick do as scanModem tells you to do
\begin{"}
Support type needed or chipset: hsfmodem
For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a driver source
package with full speed enabled is available, but requires driver
compiling. Read Conexant.txt
The hsfmodem package serves a great variety of Conexant chipset modems.
>From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download hsfmodem_7.68.00.07full_k2.6.22_14_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
Under Linux unpack with:
$ unzip hsfmodem*.zip
Then install with:
$ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb
Subsequently, the modem should be found with
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Edit in your personal information with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
and try dialing out with:
$ sudo wvdial.
See Testing.txt for details.

OK, now my question is like this. As i truly need to fax, so i am
willing to pay for the full capabilities but worry me is whether i can
really fax out from that point on and also, how fine will the resolution
of my faxes be to my recipients. What i be faxing will mostly be
brochure of commercial vehicles but in black and white cos i will
convert it from multi colour using gimp.
And lastly, i hope your pricing is affordable Friend!!!
Btw, i am using Ubuntu Release 7.10 (gutsy) Kernel Linux
2.6.22.14-generic GNOME 2.20.0 and my Hardware Memory: 438.90 Processor:
AMD(Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technnology MK-36
