John ltmodem is fax competent in principle, while fax service has never been achieved with its martian variant. The advantage of martian is that the driver is x86_64 processor competent and Open Source. But its complementary martian_helper has a precompiled 32 bit ltmdmobj.o , which must be compiled into the martian_helper with 32 bit libraries. If you really need robust Fax service, best invest in one of the more expensive Controller Chipset modems, as all the software modems are basically cheap consumer devices.
