Help with failed incoming faxes

[beemer]

I'm getting a lot of partially received, or failed incoming standard-mode
faxes.

XP Prof SP2 all updates
MSI K8N Neo2 Plat MB
Athlon64 +4000, 1GB, 256GM
PCI Conextant HSI V92 modem XP drivers

Connected to standard POTS telephone socket

Is there anything I can check that might be causing this? My customers are
fed up resending.

Possibly cuts out whilst eithernet cable router is transmitting/receiving
email but this is just a guess and more likely coincidence.

I also was surprised not to see the COM3 port which this pci fax modem is
using in device manager ports list. I only have COM1 and LPT2.

Do you get any error messages?
Windows XP Fax is a very troubled program that does not work much of the
time and provides no clues as to why. You should not be relying on it in a
production situation. No one does.
