This is due to either a flaw in the modem, or a misconfiguration in the 
default modem settings.  The modem, normally by default, should check 
for dialtone and busy signals.  Try adding this to your modem config file:

 ModemDialCmd:  ATX4DT%s

The "NO CARRIER" problem is also going to be the fault of the modem, but 
it could simply be that the line is busy, but that the modem is not 
configured to listen for a busy signal or is otherwise unable to detect 
the busy signal given by your telco.  It's possible that the modem 
configuration item above will remedy it.

In my opinion the relatively recent direction that the hylafax.org 
website has taken is at fault here, as anyone can write 
"official-looking content"... and this kind of misleading only devalues 
everything else associated with it.  The page you cite actually makes 
Creative Modem Blaster modems appear "officially" sanctioned and tested 
when such is not the case.  Neither Creative nor Rockwell/Conexant 
participate here (whether in-person or by proxy) to give that kind of 
assurance to HylaFAX users.
