It's one of the new "all shiny outside and crap inside" Rockwell modems,
which doesn't have any usable fax interface anymore :-(

The Class 1 fax interface is not supported by mgetty, but you might want
to give "efax" or "hylafax" a try. (Class 1 timing is very difficult to
do on a loaded unix system, but both programs work well on a lightly loaded
machine with only one modem).
