Dear Bjorn, thank you very much for your hints. I have done the automatation and I am happy in using the modem. Today, I installed gfax (in association with efax and an other file), but I am in trouble whether the 11c11040 modem is a faxmodem? I am asked for the modem port [modem, ttyS0, ttyS1, ttyS2, ttyS3, cua1, cua2] and for the modem typ [ATT (Dataport, Paradyne), Motorola (Power Modem, 3400 Pro...), QuickComm (Sprint II), USR (Courier, Sportster), Mulit-Tech (for bit reversal), User Defined]. Do you have a good suggestion what is to do here?
