Which brand ? 
Hylafax supports not all modems! faxaddmodem tells the 
brand while setting up. You don�t remember ? Oh, 
look at your config-file /var/spool/fax/etc/config.modem
or config.ttyS0, or ..S1 , ..  . You�ll find the brand in 
the first line. You find only "... class1 ..." without
brand name ? What a pity !
Your modem is not supported by hylafax (yet). You have
to edit the generic Class1 configuration file on your own
and try and try ... Have fun !
Look at configuration-files of supported brands in 
/var/spool/fax/config . Perhaps try Class1 config-files of
some supported brands. 

You have found the brand in the fist line? Congratulations!
Your modem should be supported. Post the brand to this 
list an specify your problems (again).

cheers
