Right. That's because there is none. The device we lossely call a DSL
"modem" is technically not a modem at all.


perhaps because it searches
in the Com ports and not in the Fas Ethernet
Adapter?


You can not do what you are trying to do. To send a fax directly, you need
to connect to the dial-up telephone network with a conventional dial-up fax
modem. DSL does not work.

You have three choices:

1. Buy and install a convential dial-up fax modem. They are not expensive.

2. Buy a separate fax machine (some of these are very inexpensive. I have
one I found on sale for $20, and I think at that price, it's a better choice
than a dial-up fax modem)

3.Use one of the several web-based fax services (google will find you
several choices).
