Badstuff, The hsfmodem drivers you have installed does interfere with some other modems, and does grab significant resources. Try unloading the hsfmodem software whike trying to get the USB modem functional. If you first install the wvdial_karmic_i386.zip resources, you can check for simple driver cdc_acm access to the modem hardware with: $ sudo wvdialconf wvtest Until this minimal test succeeds, nothing else will. For guidance on FAX usage, get from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ get faxing.tar.gz It has samples for a modem using port /dev/ttySL0, which must be changed to match your modem's port.
