Hi Sam, Thanks for your link !
I thought that it had a typo but it worked fine from here (non US) just putting www.tpc.int Three letter for a TLD is weird eh ? My problem: I downloaded the client software for Windoze (not DOS version) from there: HQ Fax It asked even for nameserver of my ISP (I had to dig on it with domtools.com) Everything sounded fine (after rebooting...he). But it tells that there is a COM port error ? I think I have a setup mistake. Have you any hint or an alternative client software to send a fax. ( I used to fax with a bundle Suite for winXX, will it work ?) The US area coverage is not complete but unless the software checked (already in the webiste) which area codes will work. Thanks. I think to offer this people as test volunteer for a local fax gate despite that here phone is metered even if calling to next door neighbour ! :( Rafael ----- Original Message ----- From: "Samuel W.
