Problems getting XP fax capability to work with Vonage
I have pulled my hair out trying to get windows XP Pro's fax
capability to work with Vonage. It appears to be installed properly, but wont send a complete fax. And the receive is spotty as well, in fact in all my test runs I have yet to successfully send or receive any fax completely. I contacted vonage and they said they dont fully support "soft" fax capabilities, and the recommended I get a stand alone fax machine and they said that should work fine. The also said I can attemp to lower the speed of the fax, and that might help. It does seem ironic that Vonage, a company that is based on making the computer work for you, does not support this. But I also have not been able to locate anywhere how to lower the speeds of the internal fax system. Any advice would be great. Aaron |

Problems getting XP fax capability to work with Vonage
What in the world is Vonage, and why would they have anything to do with
your faxing from Windows XP? Faxing just uses your analog phone line. It's just you and your phone company. Period. No one else is involved. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "hda" wrote in message om... I have pulled my hair out trying to get windows XP Pro's fax capability to work with Vonage.

Problems getting XP fax capability to work with Vonage
I would only expect this to work if one can connect a standard, analog Fax
modem to the device/adapter/hardware Vonage supplies. In as much as they suggest one can attach a stand-alone Fax machine, I'm led to believe one could also connect an analog Fax modem. As to how well XP Fax would react to this system, it would not surprise me at all if there were problems. XP Fax has more than enough trouble with MANY analog modems and regular wire telephone lines. Attempting to use it with anything even remotely "non-standard" (including such things as Cell phones that are supposed to work as fax modems, ISDN adapters with fax modem capabilities, etc.) very often gives it (and you and us and lots of other folk) heartburn.
