| 174843 | 2003-09-13 00:46:00 | Hi Guys, Ihave an ADSL modem connecting me to the internet and I want to re-install my old 56k dial-up modem so I can use it for faxing. How do I connect it and configure it so that it does not interfere with my ADSL internet connection? Regards, Marcus |

| 174844 | 2003-09-13 01:10:00 | install modem in your machine, and install driver for the modem. then, in w2000/xp, setup fax as a printer. connect modem cable the same way you connect the phone. modem----->double adaptor---->jet filter/spliter--->wall socket | | | phone-------: | | | | | (or) adsl--------------------------------------|(or)------------ that is way I use at home. |

| 174849 | 2003-09-13 05:06:00 | Hi Yang11, I think I understand your diagram. I translate it as below: wall )double (...........(filter)...............to dial-up modem socket socket)adaptor(................................... .to ADSL modem socket Is this right? Is there a similar utility as "setup fax as printer" in Win98SE which I am running? Thanks, Marcus |

| 174850 | 2003-09-13 05:43:00 | Havent used fax since the dos days, but Win98SE doesnt have built in fax capability, unlike Win95 which did. You will need 3rd party software like Winfax. |
