Installing Fax
Important
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.
