Hi Lee, Some people have reported success using Hylafax, since apparently Efax can be very picky config-wise. IIRC someone did e-mail the list reporting success faxing with 11c11040 modems. You can search the archive at linmodems.technion.ac.il I would otherwise forward you the e-mail, but I am at a conference, and as such do not have access to my full e-mail archive. Bjorn.
