Just to be sure, I attempted to fax to a machine I know is working. Same issue. I verified later that the remote fax is, indeed, working. My computer indicates that it is dialing, then it just hangs up and places the outgoing fax on hold for 5 minutes, and tries again. Restarting the computer doesn't change anything. I can receive faxes no problem. Any ideas?
