"No carrier detected" means that a call was successfully placed 
(according to the modem settings) by the modem but it never detected a 
fax machine on the other end.  So it generally means that the call was 
not answered, that the call was answered by something other than a fax 
machine, or that there is some kind of incompatibility between the modem 
and the fax machine.

"No local dialtone" means that the modem is configured to look for a 
dialtone before dialing and does not find it.
