- Hi There,
-
- I am posting this message on behalf of my father who lives in
- Malaysia.
-
- I bought a USR modem 28.8 PC-Card very recently. I got it working
- under a Toshiba Tecra 700 CT and Win95 for data communication using
- Win95 PPP. However, I could not get it to work with most brand of fax
- machines. I have tried faxing using WinFaxPro 7.0 and 7.0.2. The
- symptoms are the fax transmission will usually fail a brief period of
- handshaking attempt.
-
- I also have a New Media 14.4K PC-Card fax-modem which I managed to get
- it to work on one way faxing : from the 700CT laptop to a Sharp fax
- machine. However, I could not get it to work for receiving faxes from
- the Sharp fax machine.
-
- I have also borrowed a Hayes Optima 14.4K PC-Card modem to try out.
- The problem is the same as the USR modem, cannot fax at all.
-
- I really think the problem lies in the Tecra 700CT as three separate
- PC-Card all fail on the same laptop. Has anyone experienced the same
- problem? Is there a workaround ...?
-
- Hardware and Software Information:
- - Toshiba Tecra 700CT with 16Meg Ram
- - Win95
- - USR Sportster 28.8K PC-Card Modem (fail to fax completely )
- - New Media 14.4K PC-Card Modem (can fax but can receive incoming fax)
- - Hayes Optima 14.4K PC-Card (fail to fax completely)
- - WinFaxPro 7.0.2

- Please reply via email.
