I just know that I tried the Windows fax program and it caused big problems. Possibly the way I configured it or set it up caused the problems but I completely lost my DSL internet connection. It resulted it hours of debugging and headaches.
I use Windows XP and a fax program called Winfax Pro 10. Normally, I only load the program when I send a fax or am expecting one momentarily. I don't use my computer as a substitute for a fax machine. However, just recently, I've noticed that when people call to talk on the phone line linked to my computer, they get a fax signal. Yet, the program hasn't been loaded, at least not by me.
Does anyone have an idea what is going on?
Many thanks.
