Re: using windows fax with broardband



That "splitter" is probably a DSL line filter. Any analog device
(telephone, modem, Fax machine, etc.) must have a line filter between it and
the DSL line. In your original setup, it appears you had a line filter and
looped the phone line from it through the Fax machine and into the
phone/answering machine. To make the Fax modem work, the phone line from
the line filter should now loop through it and then go to the
phone/answering machine. I'm not sure, from your description, that you have
it connected this way.

Many users don't realize that faxing is a function that can only use

phone lines and analog fax modems. Accordingly, no fax software will
function with cable modems or DSL lines. With some DSL connections you
can
obtain a DSL line filter suitable for connecting a standard analog voice
line to the DSL line and can then connect an analog fax modem to that
line.

If you have no analog modem or phone line, you will need to use a fee
based
Internet Fax Service. Several are listed here:

Is it possible to use windows fax with broardband? If so how do you

I also wish to use XP FAX while using my ADSL connection for
email/browsing. However, I do have an Intel 537 modem installed. Backing up
a bit:

My original setup included a FAX machine working through a "splitter." One
side went to the ADSL modem for Internet connection.

The other side went to the FAX machine, then to my phone/answering
machine.

Everything worked fine until the FAX machine decided to quit. I pulled the
FAX machine and the wires connecting it through the Intel modem. The modem
remains inplace, but from the splitter I now go direct to the
phone/answering
machine.

From the original XP OS disk I installed the FAX utility. It was setup
according to instructions received from the Microsoft Home Page.

When a FAX send is tried, the window displaying progress appears but I am
told the "receiving party" does not answer. I have had friends send FAX
messages to me and my FAX utility responds, but a window appears telling
me
receipt failed.

Is it possible there is some "handshake" or other "protocol" between the
U.S. Microsoft FAX utility and the Japanese telephone system that is
causing
this problem? Putting it another way, what can I do to make my XP FAX
work?

Any help will be appreciated - - - -
