Fax

[Telephonics]

I Have Win XP, Microsoft Office 2003 and use DSL. Is it possible to activate
the fax capability on MS Office with this combination. Please give specifics
if this is possible.TIA

Go to HELP and type FAX.
You send and receive with a fax modem connected to the phone line and the
fax program. No actual fax machine is used. A scanner can be used to input
documents or just create them. You can print if you wish. Nothing is
received via a printer. Others must have a fax machine or a computer with
fax capabilities.

You need a phone connection through which you can plug in a
telephone and make a call. You cannot dial a call through a DSL
modem. It just happens to share the same wires as your voice
telephone. If you have a landline voice telephone, you have to plug
your fax modem, not a DSL modem, in a wall jack which works with
voice calls. Your computer should still have an analog modem
inside.
