Problems getting XP fax capability to work with Vonage
 
I have pulled my hair out trying to get windows XP Pro's fax
capability to work with Vonage. It appears to be installed properly,
but wont send a complete fax. And the receive is spotty as well, in
fact in all my test runs I have yet to successfully send or receive
any fax completely.

I contacted vonage and they said they dont fully support "soft" fax
capabilities, and the recommended I get a stand alone fax machine and
they said that should work fine. The also said I can attemp to lower
the speed of the fax, and that might help.

It does seem ironic that Vonage, a company that is based on making the
computer work for you, does not support this. But I also have not
been able to locate anywhere how to lower the speeds of the internal
fax system.

Any advice would be great.

What in the world is Vonage, and why would they have anything to do with
your faxing from Windows XP?
Faxing just uses your analog phone line. It's just you and your phone
company. Period. No one else is involved.
