Hi;

You must go to CONTROL Panel-Add/Remove Program-Add/Remove Windows
Componet to set FAX service cheking its box.

After you do it, go CONTROL PANEL-Telephone and Modem option setting
your loaction. You must add your location with NEW button and select dialing
method Tone or Pulse.

Remember that DATA/FAX modem must be hooked to the PHONE jack
of the line separator for ADSL.

Last you must do is Opening FAX console to configure it SENDING and Receivig
FAXs.

A DSL modem is NOT the same as a data/fax modem (which is what you may have inside your computer). You CANNOT fax using a DSL modem. You CAN fax using a data/fax modem connected to an analog telephone line.

You missed the most important part of Duke's post:

>> Remember that DATA/FAX modem must be hooked to the PHONE jack
>> of the line separator for ADSL.

If you have one and only one telephone line coming into your house, that line carries both DSL signals and telephone signals. Each telephone jack in your house may be used for DSL, telephone, or both, BUT
each telephone device in the house MUST have a DSL filter connected between the device and the phone line (your ISP or installer probably gave you DSL filters).

[There is always an exception. If you had DSL professionally installed, particularly if you have a home alarm system that calls a central station, the professional installer may have installed a "whole house filter" where the telephone line enters the house. In this case, the installer would have identified certain wall jacks as being for DSL and others as being for telephone. In this scenario, your data/fax modem must be connected to a telephone-designated jack.]

If you want to use a single line for both DSL and phone, you need a splitter (or what Duke called a line separator, which sounds like a combination splitter/filter). The connection to your DSL modem goes into one jack of the splitter, and a DSL filter goes in the other jack. The other end of the DSL filter connects to your internal modem.
