- help!
-
- I just bought a usr sportster 14.4 modem w/ 9600 fax
- I love the modem but I am having the dickens of a time
- trying to get ANYTHING to work with the fax....
- the blastfax program it comes with will NOT recognize any
- windows 3.1 files sent to printer=file (like it says it should)
-
- i called usr.. they said i have to go to the paintbrush program
- and save it as a pcx file... that's dumb... the manual
- quite plainly says that it will read any HP Laserjet II or III
- printer file.. but it won't.
-
- so... being the rather impatient one i am.... i went to the store
- and bought Faxit (they were out of winfax pro)....
- faxit says (compatible with over 80 fax boards and fax/modems)
- of course.. except mine!
- i have to run the "alien scheduling program" before windows...
- but when I select "Class 1 compatible".. it says
- hardware initialisation (is that with an "s"?) failure... not installed
- i go through every single fax on the list (only about 10 or so) and
- reach the usr worldport 2400 (send only)... so i give it a shot...
- initializes ok.... great!.. try to send... it won't connect with
- the other fax... anyone have any ideas?
- ... software to use... commands to send modem? weapons to
- destroy this stupid thing with...
-
- I will probably take the software I got today and return it and
- go to another store to get winfax pro... i think i read
- somewhere that someone had no problems with it with the same
- fax/modem .. i hope so.
