Firstly if you have an ADSL connection as I do and you wish to fax
from your Mac's modem (or any fax device for that matter), I
suggest you install a dedicated fax line, either that or you'll
have to disconnect your ADSL broad-band connection for a while
whilst you have your Mac's fax modem connected to the phone line.
I've found that running a connection from the phone side of my ADSL
filter impairs the fax performance quite a bit thus fax
transmission is allot slower and full o of errors.
Here in France, we fax using the built-in modem on our old Sawtooth
G4, using the same line as the ADSL modem/router and it works just
fine. You must, of course, have a filter on every outlet.
For those of you who want to test your fax then look up your local
Fax Test number in your country as it can give you technical data
about fax transmission levels, line audio levels etc and you can
see the difference in the quality of the fax transmission and
reception for yourself.
That's interesting. We've never heard of this service before.
However, my husband has seen the output from our fax transmissions
and they're perfectly clear.
