I have a new Acer Aspire T180 with Windows Vista Home Basic. I used to be able to send and receive faxes with my old eMachines computer that had Windows XP. Does Vista have fax capability like XP? Do I have to install a Data/Fax Modem? I also have DSL. How can I, if at all possible, enable this new computer to send and receive faxes without having to go out and buy new peripherals?

I connect to the internet via dsl so I have not much use for my modem I used to connect for my old dial-up isp. Except for sending and receiving faxes I have not much use for it. Now I am planning to buy a new computer do I still need to have modem installed? Besides the ones I have mentioned what other possible uses would I have for a modem? Is there a way I can send and receive fax without the regular modem?

I’m using an external fax modem(U.F.Robotics)… drivers are working correctly installed right according to device manager..when I try to connect to the internet it says no dial tone(ERROR #680)…but the computer b4 worked fine ,but it also had an internal modem too( I think)..this new computer is only set up for LAN?? WHAT DO I DO" The Phone line works fine. in Yahoo! Answers

I have installed a dsl modem via ethernet on my new computer but I want to install the same dsl modem on my older computer via usb.I have a cd rom that came with the initial installation.I want to move the modem and software to my old computer.

I recently changed computers & used a cd rom to install my modem onto the new computer but after 30 mins of being online, I am cut off all internet usage. I have adsl broadband, not dial up. I have to restart the computer everytime i want to get on the net & only have 30 mins of usage. I have spoken to my internet provider people (telstra, big pond, australia) & they say nothing is wrong on their end, it must be my pc. I have windows 98. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, xp would definatly be my prefered option, but I cannot afford to upgrade at this time nor can I afford to have an IT person come do it for me!!! I need to do it myself, but don’t know where to start!!!
