[hsflinux] Conextant HSF modem

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

please make sure that the status of the license is set to 'OK' in the 
output of the 'hsfconfig --info' command in a root shell.

It is quite possible that Xandros doesn't have the HSF modem driver in 
it's database and this is why the automated or distribution specific 
tools are not able to detect it.

You can issue AT commands to the modem with a program such as 'minicom' 
which is likely to be available for Xandros.

Instead of using high level graphical tools to send a fax, you could try 
to manually invoke either efax or hylafax from the command line. In this 
way, it might help figure out if the problem is the fax program, the 
modem driver or the graphical tool.

Regards,
