Have you changed or updated the modem drivers recently? If so, can you
Rollback to the prior drivers and see if the problem persists?

Also check the line for noise. Last, check the Event logs for FAX related
problems/errors and/or watch the FAX Monitor while attempting to send.

If nothing above proves helpful, you should probably post this in the MS
newsgroup "windowsxp.print_fax" for best results on the feedback.
