12. Why do my Fax transmissions fail so often? XP Fax is not very robust and is extremely sensitive to type of modem hardware its used with.

Hi, What is a "Commswitch" ? Is this VoIP or some other IP based telephone system ?

Cannot Receive Faxes
Will the fax work properly when plugged directly into the phone line?
If so, there may be a compatability problem between the "commswitch" and the fax function. On an incoming fax the "commswitch" must do something to trigger the modem, just as an incoming call would. Normally, the modem sees the "ring" signal, and after a set number of rings, answers, and starts the process of fax negotiation. It may be that the ring signal from the "commswitch" is not what your fax modem expects and detects. "FLBill0420" wrote in message ... I have Windows XP faxing program set to received faxes.

Cannot Receive Faxes
I am having the original poster's problem. I set up my fax mahine through
FAX Console just the other day. I am able to send faxes ok but cannot receive faxes. When a fax is incoming I get an error message. To my knowledge I am not set up through a commswitch but am connected directly to the phone. Is a commswitch something I would have to buy? Should this work without a commswitch? I am on Verizon FIOS. "Chuck" wrote: Will the fax work properly when plugged directly into the phone line? If so, there may be a compatability problem between the "commswitch" and the fax function.
