| 74157 | 2002-08-27 06:15:00 | since fitting a nokia adsl card, i am unable to fax in win xp, when installing the fax program it tells me it cannot find a modem, my nokia card is in the network connections not in the modem section of device manager, can anyone help, Nokias helpline is useless and expensive, thanks. | wgeorgec (1648) | ||
| 74158 | 2002-08-27 06:25:00 | Hi,you can't fax with your nokia adsl modem,it has to be a standard 56K dial up modem.The adsl modem works differently than a standard modem,even though they use the same line.If you want to fax you must have both sorts of modem in your PC,and fax through your 56K modem.If you need more info on how to set it up,let me know,and I'll try to help some more.

| 74159 | 2002-08-27 07:54:00 | Jetstream and Jetstart are not compatible with faxing. If you are running a internal high speed modem, get yourself a old external 28k or 56k modem and use that for your faxing. Point the fax program to the external modem and plug that modem into your normal phone line. If you want a internal modem instread try a ISA card instead of the PCI cards. The couple of times I set up faxing for other people using Jetstart/stream I usually found a ISA did not cause any hardware conflicts and I never had any problems with using external dialup modems. Hope that helps you. |

| 74160 | 2002-08-27 21:32:00 | Thanks for the replies, I have kept my old 56k modem, so I take it all i have to do is re install for fax purposes only. The Nokia help desk could not figure it out, I should have come here in the first place, thanks again | wgeorgec (1648) | ||
| 74161 | 2002-08-27 22:19:00 | Just make sure that when you reinstall it, it doesnt become the default modem for e-mail and internet. If it does, you will need to re-select the ADSL one. As to why jetstream doesnt work for fax, it doesnt use the dial-up part of the telephone system at all (thats why you can use the phone at the same time as the internet). The ADSL signal is almost like a radio signal that uses the phone line as an aerial to transmit to the "modem." |

| 74162 | 2002-08-28 03:45:00 | If you use filters, then when you've set up the dial-up modem following the precautions mentioned, you can plug the modem cable into the same socket that the adsl modem uses (but not using a double-adaptor at the same time that Jetstream is connected), without using a filter on that socket. | Greg S (201) | ||
| 74163 | 2002-08-28 11:25:00 | i have bought a external modem USB, connected it up, but have used a double connector into the main wall socket, one for the ADSL one for the Modem , there is no ADSl filter on it. do i need to get one and plug the fax/modem into it, to seperate the ADSL and fax | wgeorgec (1648) | ||
| 74164 | 2002-08-28 11:33:00 | Yes, your external modem must be via a filter, or it will upset your ADSL. Just make sure the ADSL line is not via the filter |

| 74165 | 2002-08-28 11:35:00 | Hi,really you need an in line filter in that jackpoint.You can get them at Dick Smith's with a double adapter set up,where one side of the adapter is for your adsl modem,and the other side is for your phone,or in this case,56K modem.(about $20 I think) Peter |
