Default Fax Software for XP?

Maybe this is slightly off topic, but not far.
I bought HotFaxMessageCenter years ago and like it a lot.
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".

The absence of the References header shows Lurie started a NEW thread
while pretending it was a reply rather than replying to his existing

You did NOT reply to my post in your prior thread. You started a NEW

then I may reply to it there. To continue a discussion, REPLY to the
EXISTING thread. I'm not going to slice up the discussion into multiple

Sorry, but some quirk in the software or programming prevents me from
sending a reply by hitting 'Reply' after typing the text. The way I did
it was a work-around that I hoped you would accept.

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.)

Then fix it, or stay out of here.
