Fax and telnet problems since SP2 for WindowsXP

[L . Andrew Campbell]

Since installing SP2, I have observed the following problems.

1. When booting and the computer is initialing my fax/printer
(HP OfficeJet 600), I get the message "Fax receiver failed to
initialze" - which I presume implies that I will not be able to
receive incoming faxes.

2. Before SP2 I could summon up telnet in Internet Explorer by
entering telnet:// in the address bar. No longer. This still works
with Netscape 7.2, so I presume this has to do with SP2 changes to
Internet Explorer.

I imagine there are switches of some sort that I could set to avoid
these problems without uninstalling SP2, but I have no idea what they
are and how to find them.

I have XP Pro SP2 - the command in the IE address bar telnet:// works fine
for me.
