Fax number area code

[Uzun Hasan]

One must dial the area code for all local calls in the
greater DC metro area (703, 301, 202). How do I set up
WinXP fax to dial correctly? Example: 301-123-4567. If
I tell WinXP fax to always dial the area code for every
prefix, it adds a +1 in front of 301.

When I tried sending that way, it did not go out and I
received no error message.
