I send faxes via fax tools on my computer – do not have an independent fax machine. I do not know how to receive faxes. The software says to make sure fax tools is up (it is) and is set to receive mode (it is) but when my phone rings, it goes to my answering machine (those little irritating beeps) and then hangs up) and no fax is received. I think I know the problem but not sure. I do have a HP56 modem plugged in which I use to send faxes but my Internet server is FIOS. Maybe to receive I have to change the setup of the software to reflect Fios as the modem and not my HP56 modem. If so, I do not know how to do that. Any suggestions. Thanks.
Someone out there must know something about computer fax software. Please help!

And no commercials such as the first answer. That does not help me.

We have this fax machine that calls our home about 5 times a day and beeps for 2 minutes straight. We have caller ID, so I have tried to call the number, but no one ever picks up.

Is there a way to literally block the fax machine from calling our home?

I have high speed cable internet, Vonage phone and a net gear router. I still have the analog modem installed in the computer. I can get Tools to dial out to a number using the analog modem connecting to the Vonage, but all I get are beeps and then it times out. Can someone tell me the correct connections? Thanks in advance.
