Bought a fax modem b/c I am too cheap and don't want a
fax machine. Using fax console, I can send but I can't
receive. I am using my primary phone line since I don't
fax a whole lot. Getting an error when I try and
receive. Any ideas?

Thanks...

Being cheap can sometimes end up costing you more. Did you make sure
that the modem you bought is XP-compatible? See
http://www.microsoft.com/hcl
Take a look at this MS KB article: http://tinyurl.com/ot5c for
troubleshooting advice.

From what I've seen lurking in this ng, WindowsXP fax is very particular
about which fax modems it is willing to work with, and is generally not
terribly reliable.

If you post back, include the make/model of your fax modem and the exact
error message you get.
 
When you install fax, receiving is disabled by default. You can enable
receiving using the Fax Configuration Wizard.
