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.

Right. The good real PCI modem from USR is the 5610B.
