No change running "echo", however when running the -x <debug> option, I 
receive a message, "WARNING: are you sure that this is a G3 fax file? 
Doesn't seem to be..."

My understanding is that sendfax automatically converts ASCII-text 
documents through to the server, so I'm a little confused.  Before 
responding, please also understand that I know very little about modems, 
and facsimiles. Don't assume anything please.

I'm sure I've run faxsetup.

Thanks for your assistance.

Bob
