If your Panasonic system is anything like our Siemens digital phone system,
connecting an analog device (telephone, modem, Fax machine, etc.) to it
requires an adapter to convert the digital line to analog. In Siemens'
case, they manufacture the device, it connects to the digital telephone, and
provides an analog phone jack with a different phone extension number than
the digital telephone its attached to. If you have something like this that
you're attempting to use, it should work under Vista. I say *should*
because I'm assuming you're using Vista Fax & Scan and not WinFax on the
Vista machine and it, like other Windows originated Fax systems, is more
critical of phone line conditions and wiring than third party applications
appear to be. Does any of this match your circumstances?

Understood! Why was I able to use Winfax with Windows XP and the same phone
system (ie digital)

Modem Faxing has always been and will remain an analog line application. You
can hire Internet faxing services to handle faxing needs if your only
connection is digital.
