... It is also possible that the modem is not recognising your incoming ring, in which case you have to set several params in the modem for ring frequency and cadence. Start minicom and dial your fax number. minicom should display RING.
If I am trying BSNL line, minicom showed "ring".
But I am to use it with our EPBX (Alcatel Lucent) for which it does not show "ring".
I am held up :-(
Any hint / help will be highly appreciated.
Fax machines/modems sometimes do not recognise EPABX circuits. EPABX lines use 21 volts DC and low ring voltages whereas PSTN lines us 50 volts DC and a 75 volt AC ringer. Try out your config on a direct line at least for testing and cross checking.
