How to fax with Trendnet TFM-561 modem? (Solved)

[scientist]

I bought a Linux capable USB fax modem.

I used it successfully, but I forgot how to fax a document with it.

Modem is a Trendnet TFM-561 U

Efax says "no response from modem"

Can someone help me ?

You must set the rigth dev from /dev: ttyusb0?

I am already using the version in your link.

I do not understand

Code: Select all

Attach the modem-fax and type in console:

Code: Select all

dmesg|grep tty

Take note of right device where the modem-fax was attached. Then open efax-gtk, File, Settings, tab Modem. At Serial Device type the right tty dev. Take a look at other Settings. To fax a pdf document drag it in Fax to Send, fill Tel number, Send Fax.

I did that.

Code: Select all

efax-0.9a: 00:08:28 opened /dev/ttyS0
efax-0.9a: 00:08:34 sync: dropping DTR
efax-0.9a: 00:08:38 sync: sending escapes
efax-0.9a: 00:08:44 Error: sync: modem not responding
efax-0.9a: 00:08:44 failed page /root/Documents/Impt_Mazda_CX-7_Info.pdf.001
efax-0.9a: 00:08:44 finished - no response from modem

Post the output of the above command:

Code: Select all

dmesg|grep tty

My system also has an internal modem.

[ 0.000000] console [tty0] enabled
[ 1.156812] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
[ 1.177763] 00:09: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
[ 301.531209] cdc_acm 8-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device

Try with the ttyACM0

As said ttyACM0 should work. Open efax-gtk, File, Settings, tab Modem, Serial Device-->ttyACM0.

Again cdc-acm is needed and will auto-load, but now in these newer kernels you don't need usbserial anymore. The needed tty is created by cdc-acm, although it has a different name, like /dev/ttyACM0
