Marc Says::

You can't use your DSL or cable connection for faxing, only a modem on a dial-up service. Also this service is not installed by default so you may have to Open Control Panel, and click Add or Remove Programs then click Add/Remove Windows Components. Select the Fax Services check box, and then click Next. Then the "Windows Component Wizard" takes care of the rest.
