xp fax services

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

Hi,
I am trying to setup the fax on my pc (xp Home), I have a wirelesss network
using a router connected via ethernet cable to my host pc. When I run the
fax setup wizard it tells me that there is no modem installed, what do I
have to do to setup the fax?

TIA

Even more annoying is that having got a fax modem on one computer, you
can't share it across your network.

| Unlike most dial-up modems, a broadband modem is not capable
| of connecting to fax machines, so you cannot send or receive faxes
| directly.
| In order to send and receives faxes, you'll need a conventional fax
modem
| with a live telephone line attached. You cannot use broadband unless
you
| use a web-base fax service, such as eFax:

|
| Or consider purchasing a regular fax machine and connect it to your
phone
| line.
