I have a DSL connection. Does the bundled fax program in XP work on a broadband connection? Has anyone heard of problems and solutions? Thanks. Steve O. sloday@swbell.net

Fax programs typically won't work over a broadband connection because you cannot dial to the receiver.

The only way to send a fax over dsl, or cable is to send it to an IP address.
This could be a broadband link at the recipients end, or an On-line fax service.

One possibility is if you are running VPN you could "FAX" to the Printer. But to send a fax to a fax machine you will have to dial it, unless it is integrated into the LAN/WAN network.
