Some users in these ngs sometime ago, I do not
remenber, did mentioned these files and and also
mentioned an uptodate file to setup a properly
working setup of msfax. The file is EXUPDUSA.EXE.
It is quite large file over 3MB downable from somewhere
ms site. I did download the file but never set it up.
I just kept a note of it since I was interested in finding
a very simple fax utility for a casual use but then given up.

Did a search and found lots of hits on that filename:

Not sure if it's really necessary though, since I no longer run W95.

I'm a bit confused. I'm running Win Me and used W98se and W3.22
before that. My Win98se didn't come with fax software. The site
you linked to linked to a document that wasn't clear to me
whether it would work with WMe.

I'd like to put fax on to my box, but I'm really hesitant. I've
tried four different commercial fax programs in the past (never
with WMe). Each has proved a disaster with incoming faxes: the
program would seize the machine, even seize the phone line
without recourse other than killing the phone connection. This is
possible with an external modem; the only way to kill the
connection with an internal modem is to shut off the computer,
possibly losing work in memory.

On the other hand, perhaps something from MS itself may work
better with the OS, since they wrote both. Then again, I have
more faith in other companies to debug their stuff.

Sorry I can't help you there Richard. I was only replying to the O.P.
which asked for a FAX program that would run in W95. On my machine, I
had to remove the modem entirely because it created a conflict with my
video card. Hardwarewise, I can either run a cable modem or a fax
modem, but not both.
