I used to be able to fax from my computer. After I moved, however, I have not been able to fax since. It has been over a year and I still cannot get it working. I always get a message stating "fax device error". I would appreciate any input.
 
Yes
You need a filter from your phone company if your DSL is piggy backed on
your voice line..

Or an anlog phone line with an anolog mode connected to your computer..

have something to do with my DSL highspeed internet through my phone

Adding a bit to Victor's reply, sending a fax by DSL requires one of two
methods:

1. You obtain a DSL line filter suitable for connecting a standard voice
telephone to the DSL line, then connect a regular analog fax modem to the
line through the line filter. Your DSL provider has these filters, as does
your local Radio Shack store:

2. You hire an Internet E-faxing service:
