Windows XP (SP2) and Faxing

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I have a Netopia modem setup on my PC which I received from Earthlink when I
switched from dialup to DSL. How do I set up the fax component of Win XP?
I tried earlier today and the fax wizard did not recognize any modems
attached to my PC. Am I going to have to ALSO attach another external modem
just to be able to send and receive faxes?

Thank you.

Sorry, I should clarify that a 'digital modem' will not work for faxing.
You'll need an analog modem for this.
