Forget about that.

The Elsa card is a pure passive ISDN card (Hisax). So there is no analog 
support (on Windows they use RVS-COM for the analog part).

The only two passive cards for which I know to support faxing are the AVM 
Fritz! and the Sedlbauer Speed-Fax (semi-passiv). For the AVM card you will 
need to get AVMīs special drivers (there is no source). The Sedlbauer card 
can only fax on one B channel at a time - for the AVM I donīt know (I think 
both).

If you want to avoid trouble get a cheap ISDN card for Internet access and 
a good analog modem for faxing. If you have some money get a active ISDN 
card (e.g. Eicon DIVA Server). If you have time and passion try one of the 
above cards.
