It could be a modem problem.  I don't use the USR modem so I can not 
be much help there.  I did notice your config file has:
ModemRate:              19200           # rate for DCE-DTE communication
and it must be at least as fast as the DCE-DCE communication.  Since your 
modem purports to be a 56K, perhaps raising the ModemRate to 57600 would 
help.  I suppose the 56K refers to bits and the modem converts but it 
can't hurt to increase the ModemRate.

How did you make the config file? If you used faxaddmodem, it should have 
guessed most things properly but not knowing anything about the modem puts 
me on the sidelines, not in the game.
