How to get tones from modem during fax?

V

*Vanguard*

I can successfully do faxing using the Fax Service included in Windows
XP. I can send the fax and get it back (it gets sent to a Faxwave
account so I get it back immediately via e-mail). But there are some
peculiarities when sending faxes.

There are no tones emitted by my modem's speaker during the fax call.
If I disconnect the phone line, the fax keeps retrying so it is using
the phone line to send the fax (as opposed to possibly using some
Internet faxing service). I can run Hypterminal to call my own phone
line and I'll hear the dial tone, dialing tones, and the busy signal
from the modem's speaker. I've even added "M1 L1" to the initialization
string under the advanced properties for the modem. Still there are no
tones heard when sending a fax. I want to hear it get a dial tone, do
the dialing, hear the fax handshaking tones, and then cutoff during the
fax transmit. This is how it worked using the same modem in my prior
computer.

I open the Fax Monitor and configure it for always on top. I then send
a fax, see its status change to "In progress" in Fax Console, but
nothing shows in the Fax Monitor regarding the fax transmission in
progress.

I'd like to hear tones from my modem's working speaker during the fax
send startup and I'd like to monitor the send using the Fax Monitor.
