Testing Fax setup
I just installed MS FAX running Windows XP and DSL. I'm a first time
user. Is there any conflict with DSL and FAX? Is there any way to test fax transmissions and/or hardware connections without calling/faxing a friend? All I am getting is either "line in use" or "line busy" |

There shouldn't be any conflict between your DSL line and your analog Fax
modem provided you have the modem connected to the line through a line filter. Your DSL provider should have given you some of these filters so you can connect your telephones to the DSL line; your Fax modem connects the same way the telephones do. DSL filters are available at your local Radio Shack store also: http://www.radioshack.com/category.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=C TLG%5F004%5F004%5F002%5F000&Page=1&find=dsl%20filt er(keyword) The other problem you might have is with the Fax modem, itself. Windows XP Fax has proven to not work well with modems that aren't on the Windows XP Hardware Compatibility List: Windows XP Hardware Compatibility http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/default.mspx Hal -- Hal Hostetler, CPBE -- Senior Engineer/MIS -- MS MVP-S/U -- WA7BGX http://www.kvoa.com -- "When News breaks, we fix it!"
