Jasques/Marvin:
Thank you for explaining and clarifying the meaning of the "AT..../Not
supported" report.
And sage advice re reading the manual. I am doing that now.
In the mean time, I found this bug report --
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/efax/+bug/384317
This is exactly the problem that I experience when I try to fax using the
efax-gtk program from Ubuntu 9.04.
