Here is leaving something important !!! :-)))  
It´s something like this:

CountryCode:            49
AreaCode:               721
FAXNumber:              +49.721.6666666
LongDistancePrefix:     0
InternationalPrefix:    0049
DialStringRules:        etc/dialrules
ServerTracing:          527
SessionTracing:         527
RecvFileMode:           0644
[...]

Did you run faxsetup and faxaddmodem?

ELSA is a very good choice. ELSA supports linux and has developed a
config.modem-file, see www.elsa.com, "search .." -> linux -> hylafax,
like another person in this thread already remarked.


I´ve got ELSA 57 BASIC, too and fax works properly: 
This is the config.modem from Elsa homepage:
