Installing and configuring Microsoft Fax
This chapter describes using Microsoft Fax and your dial-up modem. You cannot
send or receive a fax using a cable or DSL modem by following these
instructions. Many Internet services exist that let you send or receive faxes using
a broadband connection.
Your dial-up modem cable must be installed before you can send and receive
faxes. You cannot use your standard telephone modem to connect to the
Internet while sending and receiving faxes.
