Dear Ertan,

Country code 90 ? That must be Turkey, I presume.

Try changing the parameter DialStringRules to etc/dialrules.europe in your
/var/spool/fax/etc/config.ttyS0-file.

The modem seems to dial the number but reports a 'no answer' ?

Look for ATDT4250459 in your logfile.

Have you checked the number ? Is 4250459 the number as it should be dialed from your location
? Or does it need a leading zero, in order to obtain an 'ouside' phoneline ?

Did you check the number with a regular phone ? Do you have a faxmachine answering the call ?

Try to figure that out.

Regards.
