See the documentation for hylafax, and Google for setting it up. There is a lot of good info on the web, and a discussion on this list earlier about faxing from 10.0. Also if there's a problem you can get excellent help here.
After updating the pctel drivers I actually managed to send one test fax. Then I started encountering a persistent problem: "modem busy" messages. Using minicom I could still send test sequences to the PCTel modem, but I could not send any more faxes. And now I can't even get that far: I get the message from sendfax (the one that works with Hylafax):
Can not reach server at host "localhost", port 4559.
I get that even when running as root.

Yup... one of the problems with hylafax is trying to get it going... or keep it going. I get a lot of "Waiting for modem to come ready" messages when the modem is clearly ready. Normally what I do in your case is to run faxsetup (for the nth) time which will check everything over and restart hylafax. But not guaranteed to fix your problem. I made up the following cheat sheet which helps since I run hylafax so rarely: ============================================ Don't start hylafax first. Make sure that /dev/modem--> ttyS? <--- your modem sendfax -n -d 5774662 /home/pmfax/sal60429.ps <--- sendfax your file Run faxsetup and it should take off. faxstat and faxstat -s to query And sudo -u <userid> faxrm <ID> to remove. faxstat -d to show completed jobs.
