Hi,
Thank you for posting here.
First of all, please let me know:
1. Has the problem ever worked?
2. If so, what has changed?
3. What service packs and updates applied? (SBS SP0 or SP1?)
It could be a hardware related issue, you can swap the device to try again
In addition, only the following USR modems are in Windows Server 2003 HCL
list:
(USR2973-OEM) U.S. Robotics V92 Fax PCI
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/catalog/server/default.aspx?subID=22&xslt=d
etail&pgn=ed4e39fd-ca14-920a-a21f-ff75a250ac55
U.S. Robotics 56K Performance Pro Modem (USR5610B, USR325610B)
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/catalog/server/default.aspx?subID=22&xslt=d
etail&pgn=8f91a73f-1995-d632-c6dc-e3d0daf1a669
If the modem is not the above models, this can be a compatibility problem.
Please let me know:
1. The modem's model.
2. Can you install the driver for the modems? Are they the latest ones?
If this is an SBS 2003 SP0 machine, please follow the steps below to
reinstall Fax Services and check whether the problem persists.
1. Rename the keys and files below to *.old
1) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fax
2) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Fax
3) C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server\fax
4) The 'SBSMIS-FAX.log'file under 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Integration\Windows Small Business Server 2003\Logs'.
5) The 'SBSMSI-faxcfg.log'file under 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Integration\Windows Small Business Server 2003\Logs'.
6) The 'faxsetup.log'file under 'C:\WINDOWS\'.
2. Access Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, uncheck 'Fax
Services' to uninstall it.
3. Once it is uninstalled, access Add/Remove Programs to reinstall it.
4. Then, access 'Add/Remove Programs again', this time, we will click
'Change/Remove' on the 'Windows Small Business Server 2003' item:
1) Click 'Next' on the 'Microsoft Windows Small Business Server Setup'
page.
2) Click 'Next' on the 'Windows Configuration' page.
[Note] It states that 'This will take approximately 30 minutes', it is
referring to the total time it will take in the first SBS component
installation. For the task such as remove a specific component, it will
just take couple of minutes.
3) Now, in the 'Component Selection' page, choose 'Remove' before the 'Fax
Services' item.
4) Click 'Next', and then click 'Next' again to confirm 'Component
Summary'. You will be prompted to insert the SBS 2K3 setup Disc 1.
5. Once the removal process is completed, access 'Windows Small Business
Server setup' again in 'Add/Remove Programs', proceed to the 'Component
Selection' page, and then choose 'Install' for the 'Fax Services' item.
Note; according to your situation, I highly suggest you perform a full
backup before steps above.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to your update.
Best Regards,
Chace Zhang (MSFT)

| If you suspect line noise, then I guess I should mention that the phone
line

would

I'll
