RingsBeforeAnswer is in the modem configuration file.  See the following for
more information;

Use Class 1 or 1.0 if they are available (Class 2, 2.0, and 2.1 is broken on
most modems).

Try using Minicom to dial a number with your modem.  Your cell phone is good
because you can hear it ring and answer the call easily.  The modem will
require an ATDT command - ATtention Dial Tone - and this will be in the
format ATDT0123456789 (replace 0123456789 with your cell number).  The
purpose of this test is to ensure that your modem can make calls with
Minicom.  If that works then calling the modem from your cell phone should
give you the 'ring' message in the terminal window.  Once you can make and
receive calls then you can proceed to HylaFAX.
