Internet FAX or standard v.90/v.92 FAX/modem and POTS line.

Just because DSL and Cable "modems" are called modems that dousn't mean they equate to
standard telephone line Mmodems and FAX/Modems.

I also would like to know if I can use Phone Tools to send a fax using DSL
rather than modem ? I understand my DSL "modem" is not really a modem. It is
more a router per say. But I need to fax, so is there a way that I can send a
fax using DSL?

There are online services that'll do it for you. Not that I've used any.
Your ISP may have such a service.

I keep the old dial-up lead handy. Just plug in, connect via a PAYG dial-up
ISP, send your fax. Of course, receiving one is going to be a pita. But PAYG
dial-up is easy, you can use it for 5 mins a year.

I still have one e-mail address from one dial-up ISP that I haven't used for
more than about 10 mins in the last 3 years (or more). About once a year
they send a computer-generated e-mail noting that I haven't connected via
them in a long time and I can't use my e-mail address unless I do. So I
reconnect with them for a minute or two. There's another one I even still
have webspace with!

Just like me Shane, two of my accounts are dial up and the modem lead is
still there just have to swop out the line if I want to use it, trouble
is I haven't bothered since going ADSL.
I got rid of my Fax machine as it never got used, well occasionally as a
copy machine <g> plus it meant I could get rid of a phone line, haven't
missed it.

Shane,

Surely not? I just dial the number of the fax to which I'm sending! No
ISP comes into the equation. Me thinks you might need more black coffee.

Yes, Joan! I've got a fax machine that cost about £220 iirc, been sitting in
storage since I came up from Devon! Shame it can't make coffee or something!

LOL

I've had one of those days. Spent hours getting nowhere fast but all
seems to be OK now although I haven't solved one of the problems (a
problem with a program called NetLimiter) but eventually did find a work
around which whilst an annoyance solves the problem.

I feel I would have faired better though if I had spent today down the
local.

Cheers,

An interesting looking program. Ever finer control, eh?

Well of course it's hard to go wrong with that one!

Cheers, Mike. And I do believe I'll hit the sack now!

It is and based on the last week that I have been using it does its job
pretty well. Removes much of the frustration caused by the A in ADSL and
for example allows one to allocate a maximum amount of bandwidth to say an
FTP upload so as to leave some upstream bandwidth available for other
purposes including ACKs for any downloads. Drop me a line if interested
including the problem and the workaround. One feature that it doesn't
have that would be nice would be to allow a user to allocate priorities to
the different processes rather than an absolute bandwidth limit.

I know I should have.

Sleep well! I hope to be heading in a similar direction soon.

Thanks Shane, that is what I did. Just plugged my modem in and off it went. I
will have to look into my ISP to see if they have fax services.
Thanks for your response.
