Re: Installing an external modem in Ubuntu 9.1 You could try installing efax-gtk, which is a graphical application for faxing.
After installing, efax-gtk should show up in the Office section of the Applications menu. Under File -> Settings, you can enter your name & number. In the modem tab, you may need to set the "serial device" to ttyS0 (COM1) rather than ttyS1 (COM2). Hopefully you'll be good to go at that point.
Efax-gtk needs files to be in postscript (.ps) format for faxing. You can print any document to that format with "Print to File" in the standard print dialog.
If needed, the efax-gtk documentation can be found here:
»efax-gtk.sourceforge.net/README
There's information in the Help file that comes with efax-gtk, also. |
