Fax Problems
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (x64)
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? -- David E. Ross Trump again proves he is a major source of fake news. He wants to cut off disaster funds to repair the damage caused by the Woolsey Fire in southern California because he claims the state fails to manage its forests properly. The Woolsey Fire was NOT a forest fire. Starting in an industrial tract, it did not burn through any forests. See http://www.rossde.com/fire.html. |

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. Paul |

I was having problems and ordered another dongle. Then found that both required USB 2. My computer has both types and was trying to use usb3 and they didn't work. They both worked fine on the usb2 ports. Just a thought. -- G Ross |
