121437 2003-02-17 04:00:00 Hey I found that when I had a physical fax on a double plug with the computer modem, the fax would listen in to the "fax conversation" and print out what was sent from XP. I fixed that by getting a privacy double adapter from DSE, which blocks one port while the other is being used. aj.iv (3174)
121438 2003-02-17 04:44:00 The fax machine must have "listened", Chris :D Unplug it while you are sending from the computer.

You didn't set your own number as the destination: it would have complained about the destination number being engaged. (Try dialling your own phone number).
