I switched recently to DSL from a dial-up ISP and tonight
tried to send a fax for the first time. I received an
error message saying that there was no dial tone and that
the phone was either busy or disconnected. I talked to
my DSL help desk, who couldn't help and said that I need
to reconfigure my fax (which is an internal fax that came
with my compaq presario 6000) to work with DSL. Can
anyone suggest how I might do this? Thanks in advance
for any help that you can give. Dan
 
Indeed. Believe the error message. There was no dial tone.
You must have been unaware that faxing is a function that can only use
analog phone lines and analog fax modems. Accordingly, no fax software will
function with cable modems or DSL lines. With some DSL connections you can
obtain a DSL line filter suitable for connecting a standard analog voice
line to the DSL line and can then connect an analog fax modem to that line.
If you have no analog modem or phone line, you will need to use a fee based
Internet Fax Service. Several are listed here: http://www.savetz.com/fax/
