First, update to Fedora 7 or 8, if possible. Fedora Core 5 is *off* the
supported list.

Second, USR has done a lot of sins with their modems. Please specify the
model, and try to find out if it's a Winmodem. Then install "HylaFAX",
prefereably the recent one at sourceforge.net, and run "faxsetup" and
"faxaddmodem" and let us know what you see.

I just realized that it is a Winmodem. The model number is 5699B and the
us robotics website says that it's a Winmodem. I downloaded HylaFAX from
sourceforge.net and will let you know the results as soon as possible.

Second, I would upgrade to fedora 8, but my computer doesn't have enough
RAM so it would be very slow. I can't upgrade the RAM because it has the
max on it right now.

Fedora 8 doesn't need any more ram with the exception of the berryl
window manager.
