Sam,

If you can easily switch to Kubuntu, do so and install with apt or 
synaptic hylafax-client and hylafax-server. Run faxaddmodem to add your 
modem to hylafax. Then download and build from source faxfrontend. 
Follow the instructions carefully, especially the part about cups and 
sudoers. This does work and it is really pretty simple.

Good Luck,
Rick
