I use just Linux (Ubuntu Dapper) here, I am using is external serial 
modem on /dev/ttyS1 on this computer.  I  have  send a  fax (postscript 
file) with success
The other Linux (Ubuntu Dapper) is the one that I am trying to send a 
fax to, it has a external serial modem on /dev/ttyS1 aslo. This one 
receive the fax with no errors. using gv to view the file.ps
Can't view the file.ps that was sent it show errors when trying to view it.
