Fax versus Broadband
Hope this isn't a stupid Q
I have always used a conventional fax, but it has recently died and I thought I would use the fax facility in XP I can install it ok, but I am recently on a wreless network (2 computers) and when I install , it only gives me the otion of using my conventional modem, which is no longer used. Does it not work with a Router? John |

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

THanks for replies - I now know I can't do it without analogue and I'm
relieved to see I am not the onlyone who didn't know this. Thanks to all John "John McCann" wrote in message ...
