I can think of no reason you shouldn't be able to use the same analog phone
line and analog fax modem with Win XP Fax as before you put in ISDN. But
there is no way for me to guess what else has changed on your system that
now prevents it. This is likely a hardware problem which we'd have no way of
solving from here. Is your analog phone line entirely separate from your
ISDN line?

I can see my Analogue modem listed in Device manager, the driver is there and it seems to test OK when you ask it to comunicate with the system. How ever it now bumps me offline if I do attempt to query it which is also something that didnt happen previously even with the ISDN before Wireless was set up. > > The Wireless Access uses one cable currently, as its a router which is really only being used as an access point, and that cable goes from the Routers LAN to the LAN on the PC. > > Its got me Stumped, and in a pickle as Its something I do rely on due to working from home. > > I am convinced its something to do with this new set up we have, as things go the Router is rightly designed for Broadband or cable and was not meant for an ISDN. Not unlike the ISDN working fine with the other internal modem still connected to the a phone line. When I first connected with that 7 months ago, several people at telstra had told me that I wouldnt be able to use XP fax with it either, but I found you could as long as you didnt plug directly into the ISDN box and only into the PC's internal modem connection. > > I dont know, maybe I have just been snagging these set ups until now and managing to do things that technically shouldnt be happening "I am Blonde by the way" LOL. > anyway thanks again for your help > Kaz
