Sharon, RE: > Error: sync: modem not responding Before working with fax, you must confirm that the modem is responding to the Pctel drivers. 0) the sl-modem-daemon package is NOT appropriate to your System. uninstall with: $ sudo apt-get remove sl-modem-daemon 1) Have you installed the pctel drivers? If not that is the next step. 2) if the install was successful, the first test for modem function is: $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Only it the modem is thus found, is it worth while testing fax.
