Default "The line is busy" for some numbers

Choose a more compatible format for your FAX, i.e., CCITT 1. Also, add two
commas to the beginning of the phone numbers you dial. (They add 2 seconds
wait time to the dialing.)

Hi,
My fax service (winxp, sp2) works selectively, for most numbers it does
work, but for some, not. When a phone number fails, it's a complete
failure. It never works. The response I keep getting is "The line is
busy". I dialed manually to the failed numbers, and they seem to be
perfect.
I ran a search for this problem on the net, and found that such
failures happen, since the xp fax service is incompatible with some,
unspecified, fax machines.
Is this true? Is there a way to solve this problem?

Ran

p.s. I've installed an alternative fax program, but the problem stayed.
Looks like replace the program isn't going to solve my problem.
