Hummm, actually, sendfax will wait for some response from the modem, and
all that comes back is the ATD1 echo.

Could I have some more log?  Does it recover in some way ("NO CARRIER")
or will it just hang until sendfax times out?

Depends - sometimes, "get a new modem".  Sometimes "new firmware". 
Sometimes the problem is somewhere in the serial cabling, etc. - one 
needs to see more of the log.
