It waited 3 minutes for some kind of response from the modem and it 
never got it.  How long do you want it to wait?  Normally 30 seconds and 
there should be some kind of connection message (with Class 2 probably a 
+FCON message).

Well, you're supposed to get *something* after the ATDT command.  Not 
just eternal silence.

+fdcc=? is a different command from +fdcc?  They're not the same.  One 
is for reporting capabilities (a range) and the other is for reporting 
status.

Quite possible that the modem in-question is not fax-capable.

Follow the steps that you see HylaFAX take.
