Please verify that you can achieve an ordinary dialout to some
Internet provider, so that it is clear that the drivers are achieving
that functionalty.
I'll separately send you a package of scripts that are effective for
fax function with Smartlink modem hardware, using port /dev/ttySL0.
Changing the port designation to that used by your Pctel hardware
should be simple. Beyond that queries should go to some eFax List.
Maintainer Robert,
Are you knowledeagble of the level of Fax support embedded in the
PCtel code.
