There's more than one way for a computer to be "plugged into the wall".Single purpose line, directly connected. We have a seperate DSL line that is part of the rollover phone system. No worries there.
A Fax/data modem used for fax reception or transmission and the Fax functions of a Multifunction peripheral have the same telephone line requirements as a Fax machine.
If you are connected to the Internet over a dual purpose fax/dial up data modem, you will have to interrupt you Internet connection to transmit or receive faxes with the modem's fax functions.
That was the FIRST thing I checked.
When you use a remote fax service to transmit a document you wouldn't be using your fax modem or multifunction peripheral anyway. You would be using your Internet connection to transmit your document to the remote service, where it is transmitted as a fax from one of the remote service's fax modems.He won't use remote fax services. Though I did mention them as an alternative.
If multiple computers are connected over a LAN they might be able to share a multipurpose peripheral connected to one of the machines. This ability requires drivers for the multipurpose peripheral to install as a "printer" on the computer it is directly attached to. The fax "printer" would have to be configured as a "Shared" printer on the computer it is attached to AND then installed as a remote printer on the other computers in the work group. Note that, as in other cases, the multipurpose machine needs its own direct connection to a dial up phone line (or to a DSL line through a filter).Boss's personal machine, it's NOT shared to anyone except ME and that is only the print functions, not the faxing functions. He was specific on that.
If you think different drivers would help, post the version numbers of the drivers you are using so readers with similar equipment will be able to compare their version numbers. They then might be able to direct you to an appropriate source of better drivers. Unfortunately equipment manufacturers sometimes don't produce drivers to make several year old products work with new operating systems. In those cases you just need to buy new equipment that's compatible with the newer OS.
I think convincing him to trash it or put it on a 2k machine will help, but I'm hoping someone knows a fix. As I said it used to work on the xp machine ONCE, and then quit, And it always works on the 2k Machines.
