Microsoft Windows Fax and Scan 6.1.7601.17514 (WFS.exe)

I have used WFS.exe successfully via a dial-up dongle, both receiving
and sending faxes. Recently, however, I am having errors with both
receiving and sending.

According to one recipient of my attempt to send a fax, WFS.exe is only
handling digital faxes. That recipient has an older facsimile machine
that is not digital. That might also be why I could not receive a fax
from someone else a few weeks ago.

Is there a way to set WFS.exe to interface with older facsimile
machines? Otherwise, is there a free or cheap application that I can
use in place of WFS.exe?


Try 9600 baud.

If there is digital carriage nearer to you (phone company using
VOIP at the pedestal), the modem in your dongle won't be able
to pass 14400 cleanly. The workaround is to select 9600 baud
and try again.
