In the Montreal region, there are two area codes that
service the city. When I try to fax from the 514 area
code to the 450 area code, whether it is long distance or
not, the call is answered but the fax does not transfer.
It seems that the signal is sent in english and the
recipient machine only speaks russian! When I fax to the
same area code as my location (514), everything works
great. I tried to figure out the problem myself trying
different dialing rules, getting help from US Robotics
support line and even searching the internet. I hope
that through this forum a solution can be found.
 
You should be able to solve this with dialing rules. You need to be aware
that like all of its predecessors, the Windows XP Fax service will not
process dialing rules unless the phone number to which you are sending the
fax is in "international format." Details on how to use international format
to invoke dialing rules are available here:
