Fax Software for XP?

But I made the mistake of switching from DSL to AT&T U-Verse and they (and the software vendor) tell me they can't be made to work together. That's not the only 'feature' I lost by going to a system with higher speed (which I did not need). Can someone suggest a FAXing package I can install in XP/Home that will work with U-Verse? Thanks. When you had DSL, you had both the old POTS lines (for voice) and filters to separate the data traffic at higher frequencies. So how did going to AT&T U-verse make you lose your phone line (that you can use with your analog data/fax modem)? Did you actually choose to terminate your telco service and switch over to a digital phone service? The mechanism is that AT&T ran fiber optics in and it had everything including TV (which I didn't take). I don't think any of the old copper that came up to the house is being used, but it's still there and I may yet make them put me back. I don't know how AT&T gets into the phone traffic lines. I thought the same as you, that 4 KHz of bandwidth is still there and I should be able to use it the same way.....but the modem "doesn't find the line". I checked with the Hot Fax software guys and they said "It's old, we don't make FAX gear any more, and we don't support it". That's why I'm in the market for software to install which carries a claim that it works with U-Verse. Last response up was to a supplier who says "Try it for free for 30 days". |

... Can someone suggest a FAXing package I can install in XP/Home that will work with U-Verse? Thanks. Upgrading to WinXP Pro is probably the cheapest as well as the fastest method. (Excluding fax ability from WinXP Home probably seemed a good marketing ploy to MS planners a decade ago.) -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |
