We are now using the Windows Server 2003 Fax Service. We are having some
problems with outgoing faxes....


Sometimes it goes through..sometimes it doesn't. It always says "retry". I
think PART of the problem is the timeout to send a fax...I think we need to
turn it up.

The other question I have is whether there is any kind of special changes
that need to be made so that the receiving fax knows that there is a fax
machine sending. I know that some fax machines are only setup to answer
"faxes".

I hope this makes sense....

Thanks in advance for any help....

Eric,

What are you using for a modem? I ended up going to a Brooktrout 2 line fax
card. It wasn't cheap, $400 or $500, but it's reliable. It's also
supported by W2k3 out of the box so you don't have to install any extra
drivers. From time to time I have a fax that just won't go. I've found
it's usually the other end being busy, or a poor connection. As far as
special changes, there are none I know of.
