Marvin: Chris solved my problems w/ receiving faxes and using the socket for sending. I now have a fully functional fax modem. Thanks for all your help. Along this journey I remember a website for reporting the status of modem operation on Ubuntu/Linux, but I can't find it now. Where should I record my modem status?
