Jacques,
The *SECOND* fax log Sharon did show that it was using ttyS_PCTEL0, so
it looks like she is using the correct driver now - there were one or
two issues with installing the driver that we have now overcome.
I'm afraid fax setup is not my forte. I just try to keep the driver in
a working state. ;-)
Best regards,
Robert
