Tnx Tod

Some more information:
I am using a Fritz ISDN card
I installed fcpi from aTRPMs

I re-booted and fcpi module is loaded

I started efax (with gtk-efax), I told that modem is eth2 (eth0 and
eth1 are my network adapters)
I prepared a postcript file
I tried to deliver fax but I got that error.
Any other clue?? I understand that fax is no longer popular but... ;-)
