Derek,
Your tips (including those on your home page) helped me to solve all my
fax problems.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I have a Conexant modem installed and working for internet access in

Thanks,

If you are using KDE then any time you select "Print" you will see a print
dialogue in which you have a drop down list to select a printer. One of those
printers is a virtual printer "Send to Fax". Print to it and kdeprintfax will
start up.
By default kdeprintfax uses efax to send faxes.Efax is way easier to work with
than the alternative hylafax.
Configure kdeprintfax, the most important setting is the fax device. The
default of "standard modem port" will probably work, if not select serial
port 0 or 1 or whatever your modem is being detected as.
You can also start kdeprintfax from
Menu>Office>Communications>Fax in which case dropping a Postscript file onto
kdeprintfax is all you need do to send a fax.
Faxing directly from OpenOffice is a bit more complicated. I have a page here
http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/fax_cups.html on setting it up.
