Yes, I got it working.
I had to change some lines in /etc/efax.rc
Besides the obvious (FROM, NAME, PAGE, etc), I have uncommented the following lines:
LOCK='-x /var/lock/LCK..$DEV' # modern systems
FCINIT='-j&H2' # USR (Courier, Sportster)
CLASSINIT="-o0" # Class 2.0
Without those, I'd get garbage when receiving a fax.
See if that fixes you rproblem...
