Resend a Fax Question

[Don Harvey]

I use the fax application within xp pro all the time. The one thing I have
not found how to do is when a fax is sent and the line is busy to
immediately send again. I am able to set the number of retries and the
number of times to try, but I would like to be able to go to the outbox and
immediately resend instead of waiting for the time interval.
I don't see any option to do this. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

what i do is simply
delete the outgoing/pending
one in queue and recreate the
fax to send it again.

however, you can modify
the defaults by right clicking
on the fax printer and access
the properties.

then there will be another
properties button somewhere
there where you can modify
the number of retries and
the amount of time in between.

perhaps setting the above
to 20 retries in one minute
intervals may be helpful
to you.

other than the two steps
above, a third party faxing
software would likely give
you additional options.

here is some more info:

Thanks for the info. Will check it out. I have been doing the same thing,
deleting and resending. Increasing the retries and decreasing the time
interval might be a good work around.

Yes, I installed Snappyfax on my new Vista Home Premium computer since the
fax application was dropped on that version. It is a very cool program.
