Can't Send Fax Long Distance

[TLMM]

I can send faxes locally, but can't fax to long distance numbers. When I
use dialling rules, in the fax monitor it looks like it is not putting the
area code in. If I don't use rules and just type in the fax number, it
tells me the line is busy, which it is not. I type +1 (999) 999-9999 which
I read somewhere is the correct way to input the number.

Can someone help please?

Thanks.

Like all of its predecessors, the Windows XP Fax service will not process
dialing rules unless the phone number to which you are sending the fax is in
"international format." Details on how to use international format to invoke
dialing rules are available here:
