I examined the symlink, it looked OK, then using efax-gtk (different 
logging) I tried again (Log is below). It shows the HSF modem being 
used, but then for the avoidance of doubt I asked it to use ttySHF0 - 
with the same result.

Do you know of a web link that will show me what commands I am supposed 
to send and what I am looking for?
