Thanks Marvin,

I've had a look at the faxing.tar.gz archive, but it looks like I'll need to spend a lot of time with it via trial and error. When I have time again I'll pursue this further with the efax list, but for now I'm getting back to my work.

Thank you for your help.

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.

Thank you Marvin, that was an improvement!
- wvdialconf ran successfully.

However I have a new problem. When I try to send a fax in efax-gtk my laptop
locks up completely and I have to power off.

Any ideas?

Regards
James

List,
  Can any of you report a success with agrsm-11c1040 driver source
package under 2.6.31 series Ubuntu kernels?

Yes, I can confirm a success.
I have finally upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 with its official kernel
and solved the ResumeCallBack problem by disabling
the power_save option of the snd-hda-intel driver:

[/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf]

Change line:
options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 power_save_controller=N
to:
options snd-hda-intel power_save=0 power_save_controller=N

Reboot, and see if the driver loads/works.

James,

After a reboot, you have to load the drivers manually through
$ sudo modprobe agrserial
before running
$ sudo wvdialconf

Send the List the entire output from
$ sudo agrsm-test

Completed candidate modem analyses.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.4.1
        and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.1



Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
 make utility - /usr/bin/make
 Compiler version 4.4
 linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.31-19-generic/build

However some compilations and executable functions may need additional
files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in
 /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The also
required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev
packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions.
In not included on your install CD, search for them at
http://packages.ubuntu.com
or comparable Repository for other Linux distros.
When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed.




If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some
FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
The
minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev

If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$  apt-get update
$  apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed packages.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to
display the needed package list:

Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
