I saw he tested minicom and sms_client and something called fax2send or 
something(i haven't heard of this package before).  The first 2 at least 
really do not strain the system, it would be quite easy for a problem with 
say the cable not to show up when running these packages.  About fax2send i 
really don't know what that does(can it produce a log of what it sent to 
the modem?).

I would only tend to believe he had ok hardware if he could run something a 
bit tougher first perhaps a hardware flow control ppp connection or got 
mgetty to successfully send and receive at least a couple of faxes with 
some sort of flow control.

The other suspicion i have if the hardware checks out ok is something weird 
with the version of stty or perhaps the linux serial drivers not working 
properly.  I briefly looked back through the logs and could find no cases 
even remotely similar.
