Emmexx RE Dialout OK but upon FAX initiation: Modules linked in: numerous modules This is typically a lethal condition. It indicates that something in the evolving fax code has become incompatible with the modem fax code. Unfortunately, the modem fax section is encrypted, and this is consequently no way in which trouble shooting of your problem can be effectively done. The unofficial Linux support we once had from Agere/LSI ceased years ago, and there is no one now updated the encrypted code sections. For relaible fax service, you had best install one of the (slightly more expensive) hardware/ControllerChipset modems, with 3COM/USrobotics and Agere/LSI being two of the providers. Thanks for your thorough testing and report. At this time new modem usage is almost nil and the last code updates are thus rarely tested under current kernels.
