Hi, All. Tried faxing TextEdit document and in printer list was Fax Pdf. I tried faxing the document but it was a no go. Found out later my brother did not have his fax connected to the 'phone line. Tried, then, to send a .pdf 6-page document to Dante's Vet, and it seemed to be a go, but took a very long time and the vet does not know whether he got it. Either his fax was slow or mine is. Does the Mac with a 56kbps v. 92 modem, fax at 1440kbps or 9600kbps? When I tried to save the TextEdit page as .pdf, all I got was what looked like computer programming garbage. Since I do all my wordprocessing in TextEdit, because it is the only one I can read with VO—not even AppleWorks is accessible. If someone wants a document in Word, I do it in TextEdit, select all, copy all, open an M SWord 2004 blank document and paste all there for e-mailing as attachment. Question? Can I use Fax Pdf to send documents other than .pdf? If not, then how do I add that to the list [i.e., 'fax anything']? Can I add or edit the print menu simply to read Fax in addition to the Fax Pdf? I am interested in having my home 'phone number to have a different ring when faxing in, but I have not a clue how to do this. BTW, Travis, I really do not want to have a dial-up and cable at the same time <grin>. The only reason I hated to give up the dial-up is that it was named for my first guide dog who passed on the year after I got the dial-up. Dial-up took me 2-4 days to do my Mac Software upgrades whilst the cable [which I named in honour of, in memoriam, of my first giude dog] takes me but a few minutes. Thanx, all, for getting me this far. You all are great. Much more informative and helpful than that Tech from last year. JG

Hunt down this tech who told you this, and smack him in the head.He obviously has no clue what he's talking about. Your phone line/modem have absolutely nothing to do with your ethernet/high-speed internet connection. They're different ports, run different services, and although a phone line *can* be an internet connection, after it's connected to an isp via dial-up, it is completely separate, and neither is related to the functionality of the other in any way. There is no reason whatsoever why you can't have both dial-up service, and brodband access. You could even use them simultaneously, though why you'd want to is a bit of a mystery. *grin*
