MS Fax Console error

[Guest TOM]

Hi Folks!

 

 

 

Microsoft Fax Console 5.1. which comes with XPSP2 seems not to be able to

send faxes through an external fax modem attached to my computer. It reports

"device error" without further commentary. However, other fax programs, e.g.

Ventafax or Faxmatic, are working just fine under the same constellation.

 

 

 

I do not know what causes MS Fax Console to report that error. It might have

something to do with TAPI interface compatibility. My modem is quite old and

needs to be addressed without TAPI directly at the COM-Port.

 

 

 

The other fax programs are able to detect that automatically or there is a

respective switch in the options section. MS Fax Console does not seem to

provide an option to select the appropriate setting. In the tools/configure

menu I can only choose the modem as fax device.

 

 

 

Does anybody have a clue?

 

 

 

So long, Tom
