- I am having exactly the same problem!
-
- I have a Panasonic fax machine in my office so I tried faxing to the computer. No response. The
- computer would answer the phone, then nothing. Usually, I get a tone at the fax machine, over
- the phone line, which tells the fax machine it can send, then I push the green send button and
- it sends. No tones from the USR, so couldn't send.
-
- Called USR and spent 30 minutes waiting. When I finally got through, they asked what com port.
- "COM3?, then disable COM1 on your motherboard." After trying to figure that one out, I finally
- put the modem on COM1 (I really need the other comport though). So, again nothing.
-
- I finally saw your message and tried another computer fax. It almost worked! Got about 75
- percent of the image. What is the good if I can't get a fax from a fax machine. I have a SUPRA
- internal 14.4/14.4 that I may go back to.
-
- I am going to contact USR again and see what they have to say.
