I need to dial 9 to get outside and when I fax it does
not dial 9 first. I am using the addressbook to get
numbers (faxing to a group). numbers are in like this:
+1 (nnn)-nnn-nnnn
I can't figure it out.
 
Click on Start, Control Panel and double click on Phone and Modem Options.
The first tab is the Dialing Rules, and you should have something in there
that has your local area code defined. If you don't, then click New to add
a dialing rule. If you do, then click Edit. Under the General tab, the
first option is "To access an outside line for local calls, dial:" Put a 9
in the box to the right of this statement, and also in the next option below
that talks about accessing an outside line for long distance calls. Click
Ok twice and you should now be set. Hope this helps...

I'm having a similar prob with XP not recognizing my
dialing rules. In my case, certain numbers need to be
dialed with the area code but NO 1. I believe I have the
rules set correctly, but FAX keeps including the 1 in
front of the area code. I have been to the site below,
but I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks
for any help you can give me.

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:
