| 487405 | 2006-09-27 08:26:00 | Well, I stand by my response, that to use that fax software you need a dial-up capable modem. As the fax at the other end is connected to a dial-up system and not the internet, they have to use the same network. ADSL bypasses the "dial-up" equipment at the exchange and an ADSL router does not have the "dial-up" capabilities. Therefore unless you have an extremely unusual ADSL modem that combines both the ADSL and dial-up facilities, (which I have never seen, and which is not an advertised feature on the one you mention), then you likely also still have an internal PCI modem connected to the phone line as well, Zippity? Or you are using a commercial pay-per-fax internet fax bureau service, but I am unaware of any NZ based ones. Some relevant post history here: forums.pcworld.co.nz |

| 487407 | 2006-09-27 10:53:00 | Sorry, sorry sorry - what a bummer that I cannot go back and edit (delete) a post :( As far as I am aware, I do not have a dial up modem inside my PC. I apologise if I am wrong. |

| 487408 | 2006-09-27 12:33:00 | Zippity, you will know if you have a modem in the PC, it will have a phone line going into it. If you are able to send and receive faxes without one, you could get very rich if you can find out how, as you have succeeded in doing what many people would pay very good money for..... |

| 487409 | 2006-09-28 05:33:00 | :o :o :o :o Zippity hangs his head in shame and climbs back under his rock :( Yes, I do have an internal modem with a lead going to the phone jack - the same jack that my ADSL Router is plugged in to. Apologies all round. |

| 487410 | 2006-09-28 07:05:00 | Welcome to PressF1, Gordon Vendt. Your answer was there, among the noise. :rolleyes: It must be time for another "discussion" on how a standard modem can download much faster than 56 kbps. Ho hum. :cool: |

| 487411 | 2006-10-02 18:42:00 | Thre is always Telecoms E-Fax service........ Use it sucessfully @ work. Costs roughly 20c a page. Basically generates an e-mail containing the fax and recipients to the E-Fax service and it all happens from there. |

| 487412 | 2006-10-03 03:09:00 | Hi Zippity, is MightyFax a one off charge for their software program?. Have Bitware on this IBM machine which doesn't work. Thought Broadband ran in conjunction with your landline, able to dial out while on Broadband, or did I hear that wrong. Lurking. |

| 487413 | 2006-10-03 03:25:00 | I have DSL (or ADSL as you guys insist) and run my puter on it . . . but I also have a 56K dial-up connected to a standard phone line for those times when I don't want to use the AIO for faxing . Can fax and use the broadband at the same time . . like using the phone whilst on BB . I just had to make sure that I never put my dial modem in the same line as the puter . . . I have a splitter at my NIC box on the outside and the dsl line is dedicated and seperate from the telephone line . This is not a typical situation though . My Cat5e goes direct to the phone break-out box and the telephone is seperate . So . . . Yes, you can use the dial-up at the same time . . . in the same puter . . but on different lines . I don't know if my anti-spyware stuff can handle both systems . . . hopefully it does . |
