Faxing problems in XP Pro

Posted: 01-06-2004, 03:15 PM
I dont know what happened to my ability to send faxes.
This used to work, now I keep getting this error message:
There is no answer
The attempt to send the fax failed.
Actually, I can here the modem begin its process, but
hangs up after getting a dial tone.

Please Help someone?

Thanks

Seems like the problem is at the other end. Are you sure the number you are
trying to fax to is correct? It seems like the machine is trying to send the
fax but failing because the modem at the other end is not working.
One easy way to test that is using HyperTerminal from
Accessories->Communications->HyperTerminal.
