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

I've checked everything I know to check. I have noticed that after the
initial long connecting "beep", instead of the long "chirping" connection
sound, it's just a fraction of a second long and then silence. I guess I'll
just buy an AIO. My scanner is old, my printer is old enough to not feel
too guilty about upgrading and a fax "machine" sometimes has it's
advantages.
Thanks for your input everyone.

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.
