Faxxing a document

I bought a Linux capable USB fax modem.

I used it successfully a while back, but I forgot how to fax a document with it.

Can someone help me remember ?

Plug in the USB Fax modem and immediately after you plug it in, at a terminal type:

Code:
sudo dmesg | tail
Next, in a terminal, type:

Code:
lsusb ; lsusb -t
Paste both of the results here.


In the future, please be sure that you share all relevant information about hardware, software versions, Distribution, Distribution version, kernel version etc. Do this for every question you have. It will save you time as well as the time of the people who are trying to help you.

EDIT: changed "lsusb -k" to -t

Here is the output.
Modem is a Trendnet TFM-561 U

Efax says "no response from modem"

How do I find out:

If the driver is still installed you should have a /dev/ttyACM0. About the only FAX software I am familiar with is efax or hylafax. I assume you would of used efax. Or maybe straight from libreoffice

Otherwise:

The modem works in Windows, should be able to get it to work in Linux.

I get the impression that no one uses a fax modem anymore ?

They are still quite useful.
