AFAIK that software only works with Windows. I haven't tried connecting with Linux yet, but the phone does use a serial connection, so there may be a way to do it via sending data to the serial port. If so, then faxing should follow as well; just as if you had a serial fax/modem connected. Getting the dialing commands to work could present a problem though.

Ok... Check out this link (look at #11):

Given this, I'd think that sending "normal" modem codes (from any OS) for dialing would work. I'll give it a try as soon as I can.
