 I am interesting this, too. But in my case I have Intel SatisFAXtion
Board which looks like need to make both firmware of dowloading to
board and device driver. So Last week I asked them "Can I get
Specification of driver" but the Intel Customer Support has not been
response yet. Will see... (I almost decided it will be throw out...)
 Anyway, The Readme of gnu-fax, it recommended Everlex modem (I can't
rember of model but) which can controling through serial port by
Extended(?) AT-command. 

 Befor play on it, Is there anyone make suggestion/explanation like
"Fax modem buyers Guide" and "Fax interface guide for (EIA class 2 ?). 

 Thanks in advance.
