I would set it in a shell root to UK (from US), it seemed to keep the 
setting (using hsconfig --info).

Then I would reboot and if I went into hsfcong --info again it would be 
show as US again

I have since reinstalled the driver. First time around I was unable to 
use the website RPM build and installed from source. This time I had 
additional dependencies added and installed from the website.

That problem now seems to have gone.

I am ignoring it, and bizarrely it only seems to appears intermittently 
now.

The thing still picks up the phone but doesn't beep, and still opens a 
line to dial but doesn't.

I have a problem using efax-gtk and getting a log.

Efax on its own, answering the phone, produces...

What do you reckon?
