XP.SP2-MCE - "no updates pending"

Can someone execute these instructions, and relay their
results?

1). Open the fax console.
1.1). Select tools, and choose fax monitor.
2). Return to the fax console.
3). Select file and choose send a fax.
4). Select next.
5). Recipient Information:
5.1). Enter "test" for "to".
5.2). Enter your own phone # for the "fax number",
in the form of 800-555-1212.
6). Select next.
7). Preparing the cover page:
7.1). Enter "test" for subject line.
8). Select next.
9). Schedule:
10). Select next.
11). Positioning the fax monitor pane for clear view,
select finish on the "Completing the send fax wizard".

Now, returning to the fax console pane, is your fax shown
in either the outbox folder or the sent folder?

1). I've got nothing - in any fax console folders.
2). I had no activity in the fax monitor.
3). I was expecting a busy line.
4). I had no fax service audio.

This fax is one of those things I seldom use, but I'm sure
this little test worked a few months back. However, I'm
always up to the minute on updates. Maybe one of those
updates corrupted the fax operation?

When this previously worked, I:

1). Saw modem setup via fax monitor.
2). Heard the dial sequence via speaker.
3). Always received the failure, either due to busy, or
due to dial without carrier(no tone detected).
4. And, depending on the previous operation(s), the fax
cover page would reside in either the sent or outbox
folders.

I'm actually researching a low DSR issue, and using this
and other tests for demonstration for the telco technician.


Thank you,


Gary
