I added the lines and ran faxstat, but the modem didn't initialize.  I 
then restarted the computer, and after quite a delay, the modem 
initialized.  It now answers the phone with fax tones so it appears to 
be working.  Now, how do I view an incoming fax, and how do I send a 
fax?  Is there any way to set up a virtual printer so that I can fax 
from any program that has print capability?
