Re: I want to use WindowsXP pro faxing.

Yes, that is ok.. as long as you inform the faxee that the line #2 number is
your fax number, all should be ok..

I was afraid this might be the case.

I have two phone lines into the building, #1 for ordinary voice phone use,
and the second for the HP3100 and broadband internet.

Is it possible to use the #1 voice line to send out (but not receive)
faxes via the computer modem? This would mean an interruption of
voice-phone use for the short time while the fax is being sent out.

Regards, Frank

You will require two separate telephone lines.. line #1 is connected to a
modem controlled by the computer, and any fax sent out contains a
telephone number of line #2, such that any return fax automatically goes
to the fax machine..

I want to send out faxes directly from my computer, but I want to receive
them with a printer/fax machine.

I have a HP3100 printer/fax machine which has been working for many
years, but when I installed the latest WindowsXP pro Media Centre the
direct faxing facility of the HP3100 just stopped working.

I contacted HP and sent out a special disk to fix this (and it cost
money) but this didn't work!

So now I want to use the HP3100 with its dedicated phone line for
incomming faxes, but use the WindowsXP Fax program to fax out Word3000
and Access3000 documents directly.

Can someone give me a start on how to do this?

Please help, Frank
