XP Home - Fax
I cannot get the fax to work in XP. I have a D-Link
broadband modem however the configuration wizard cannot seem to locate it. Wizard picks up my internal 52k modem which is not connected to a phone line. Can the fax be used in conjunction with a broadband access/setup? Regards Peter |

A broadband 'modem' isn't a modem - it's an external NIC (Network Interface Connector) to a WAN (Wide Area Network). It cannot recognise the tone pulses required to send a fax. You will have to connect your 56K to a phone line - or sign up for a subscription service such as eFax. You don't dial a number when you connect to the net, do you? That should be a huge clue as to the purpose of a DSL connection.
