FAX with GeoPort and Power Macintosh In PageMaker 5.x

I cannot FAX documents from PageMaker 5.0 using my GeoPort and Power Macintosh. When I use the FAX shortcut (pressing Control and Shift keys while selecting FAX from the File Menu), the following message appears:

"Cannot build printer list. No valid PPD files were found. Check the 'Printer Descriptions' folder in the System Folder. Continue."

If I select "Fax Sender" in the Chooser, then try to FAX from the File Menu, the print dialog box appears and hangs when I press Print.

If I hold down the option key while selecting Print from the File Menu, the computer hangs.
Use this workaround to FAX documents from PageMaker 5.0 with your GeoPort for Power Macintosh:

1) Open the Chooser, select Fax Sender.

2) Select Fax from the File Menu and click Setup in the print dialog box.

3) The Fax Sender Page Setup dialog box now appears. Make any changes necessary then click OK.

4) The Fax Sender dialog box now appears. Type in a phone number or choose one from the address book.

5) Click Send to transmit the document.
