flexfax: No Dial Tone

[hein@informsa.co.za]

I seem to have a problem that I can't find the answer to.

I tried to send a fax using an internal modem (USR), in Linux the 
command I use is:

sendfax -f hein@informsa.co.za -n -m -d 3621482 fax.complete.ps

This is what I get back from the Fax Master's email:

The thing is that I have to dial out of a PBX system, thus in my 
conf.ttyS1 file I have:

		ATDT0,%s@

As a modem command. (we have to dial 0 to get out). I have connected 
a telephone to the modem and was able to dial out using the phone. 
I'm not sure if the modem is working thought (how to check if modem 
works??).
