...well for me from time to time it does something, namly fax on Windoze.
Internet is via DSL, like you.

> efax -o0 -d /dev/ttyS1 -t T5551212 somefile

which gives a better but still not good logfile:

giosetti@linux:~> efax -o0 -d /dev/ttyS1 -t T01212511526896 timon

giosetti@linux:~> fax DEV=ttyS1 s -v 01212511526896 timon
timon is text...

Here the file obviously can't be read.
