Thank you.

Yes, there is an entry for fax; and when I copy and paste the line into the
run menu, the fax console comes up. So does this mean I am setup to fax?

Thanks again.

Hello.
When setting up Windows Fax the instructions say to click on the add/remove
components button and select 'fax services'. However, when I go to add/remove
components, 'fax services' along with other components are already checked.
Does this mean I should uncheck 'fax services' and then select next? I don't
want to inadvertently delete something.
From your description, it seems that Fax Services has already been
installed. What makes you think it hasn't?

When you click Start All Programs Accessories Communications is
there an entry for "Fax" in the next menu?

Copy the following line and paste into the Start Run box.

%SystemRoot%\System32\FxsClnt.exe /new

What happens?

Yes (almost; see below to configure fax) ... but remember, you need to
connect your fax modem to an analog phone line (regular, old-fashioned
phone line). If you have DSL service, you can share the line with
phone/fax and DSL by using appropriate filters. If you have cable
internet service, you need to use a "real" phone line for the fax, not
the cable connection.

See this article and follow directions to configure the fax:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306550

One of the screens in the Fax Configuration Wizard allows you to specify
if the fax modem will automatically answer (after N rings) or if you
must manually answer. Keep in mind that Windows XP Fax Services *cannot*
distinguish between incoming fax calls and incoming voice calls. Thus,
if you connect the fax modem to a phone line that is shared with your
regular telephone, you may want to set the fax to manual receive to
prevent Fax Services from answering all of your incoming calls.

"TSID" is the telephone number of the line to which you connect the fax
modem.
