James,

It is worth while establishing a simple dialout before expanding to
the issues of fax,

This list has negligible expertise with Fax,
and that portion of the agrsm code is in a pre-compiled segment.

from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/  get faxing.tar.gz
which has samples which worked for a Smartlink driver, using the /dev/ttySL0
Just change  /dev/ttySL0 to  /dev/ttySAGR to similarly.
Additionally there is an efax List which might provide assistance.
