I am connected to the net with a fastacting DSL modem. I
have MSFax that I kept from a previous version of
windows. I cannot seem to get the fax to work and have
been told that you cannot fax with Windows XP. Does
anyone have any info about this.
 
You can fax, but not through a DSL line. You need a plain old fashioned
modem connected to a plain old fashioned telephone line.

From the FAQ:

3) Why won't the XP Fax program work with my cable modem?

Many users don't realize 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 or connect to a remote shared fax printer on a Windows
2003 Server or Small Business Server 2000 box. Several fee based Internet
Fax options are listed here: http://www.savetz.com/fax/
