FWIW, you're welcome to ask questions on the list, regardless of whether
you have distro docs or not. That's what we're here for. Of course, I
can't guarantee we can answer them. ;-} The reason you haven't heard
anyone mention faxing from Linux may be that no one does. The software's
there, so people obviously do it, but maybe not people on this list.
Usually, when I switch distros, I sign up for the mailing list for that
distro. I imagine Mandrake's probably got one, so you might try those
folks as well.
You didn't say the specific types of difficulties you're running into.
For example, can you dial out with the modem but just not send faxes?
Does the setup for the software run without incident? What does the
software say when you try to send a fax?
