Re: Trouble w/ Receiving Faxes (MS Fax software)

I have the same land based phone line I've had for 28 years.

and do you have a regular telephone company phone line or possibly some
sort of voice over internet phone like from your cable company, vonage,
voicewing, etc. the voip lines are almost universally unable to reliably
transmit or receive faxes.

R162386.exe modem driver is installed in C/Dell/Drivers
It's one of the drivers I downloaded and installed when I reformatted the
420 with XP
Yes, I know a standalone fax machine would be better but this method of
sending and receiving
faxes meets my needs (when it works!) :)

I've been having problems receiving faxes (but also have success in
receiving faxes) since getting my XPS 420 last month. I'm using the MS
Fax software that comes with XP. I'm running SP3. Modem is Conexant
D850 PCI V.92. Are there any settings (initialization strings maybe?)
that I can change? I just lowered the receive buffer in the "advanced
settings for Com 3" dialog box. It's says "lower settings correct
connection problems". The failures consist of no pages being received
to partial transmissions. This simple fax software has been all I've
needed and has worked great for years.
Thanks,
Monica



You using the WinXP native driver or the Dell XP driver for the modem?

A standalone fax/printer would be preferable, but that's not what you
asked.
