Greetings,
I hope I can explain my problem well enough. I have a Dell 2400 desktop, connected to DSL and I want to use the Fax softwear that came with the computer. Prior to having DSL I used an internal modem and all worked find. Now with the DSL the fax softwear can't find a dialtone to dial out.
What do I need to do to make it work??
Is there softwear that can downloaded or a fix I can make?

Thanks for any help.

Jim

The ethernet cable running from the DSL modem to your PC is not configured for dial up.

You should be able to connect the old modem up to a phone jack anywhere in the house and the modem should detect the dial tone.

There might be a phone port on the DSL modem that should be near your PC.

you can still use your modem... you just need to put a filter on the line. DSL uses unused frequency on the phone line, that's why you need to put filters on all your other phones.
