I run Windows XP and understand there is a way to send
and receive faxes from/to my computer. Where can I read
easy to understand instructions on how to do this?

If you can help me, please email me at

Thanks, Russ

I rant the Setup Wizard and thought I was good to go.
Then I got an error message saying there is no modem
attached to this computer. That isn't true; I have a
modem from my dial-up days, but have been using DSL for
some time now. Does the DSL disable the modem? Is there
something else I need to do? I can't find the answer in
those articles.

Thanks!

Is the modem connected to an analog telephone line?
 
Sending a fax when you have 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 your 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:
