+As differences among some program's actions can probably be somehow
+cryptic to a new user, I'll report an upstream's simple explanation:
+"""If you want to wait for a fax, use "Standby". If the line is already
+ringing, use "Answer call". If you have already answered the call by
+picking up a handset connected to the modem, use "Take over call".
+"""  --efax-gtk's author, from efax-gtk-general mailing-list
+
+IMPORTANT: This program is intended to be used as a 'user'. Before running
+the program, please copy configuration file /etc/efax-gtkrc (global
+settings) into your fax-using user(s) $HOME as ".efax-gtkrc", and modify
+it according to your own device's features and your preferences. Almost all
+per-user settings can be later modified from within the program, too.
+
+If you want a LOG file (really important, as the program does not save fax
+trasmission results otherwise at the moment), modify your configuration file
+inserting the absolute path of the file you want as logfile (do not use
+environment variables, as they are not supported).
+
+For serial modems/faxes: you need to add your fax-using user(s) to "uucp"
+group, so that serial device file (i.e. /dev/ttyS[0-9]) is accessible.
+For other modem/fax devices: make sure the relevant device files are
+accessible to your user(s) for reading/writing, as well.
+
+To avoid too much crowd in users' $HOME directory, this package uses a
+custom working directory ("$HOME/.efax-gtk") to contain most of files and
+directories efax-gtk uses (e.g. fax sent/received, address book, other
+service files). In case of package's upgrade, in order to avoid malfunction
+problems or data loss, please verify if these files are in the right
+location, otherwise move them accordingly.
+
+Read /usr/doc/efax-gtk-3.0.17/README for other operating instructions. See
+your modem/fax manual for potentially needed AT modem strings and commands.
+For fax trasmission's debugging purpose, you may have to insert special
+parameters in configuration file for efax backend (see "man efax").
