Thanks, though I already worked through this one. It doesn't seem to work.
At item 7, I added the Administrator account (although my normal logon Paul
currently has administrator rights). But when I tried to sedn a fax after
that, I got several error messages, something like "fax service not
available, the fax wizard will now close", or another one offering to install
the fax service (which couldn't then be done as what came up was a list of
manufacturers for the usual hardware installations). These messages did not
seem to make sense.
The article says it is for Win 2000 so I wonder whether it may not apply for
Win XP?
Is that the end of the line?!
