Hi,

Can anyone help ?
I have just got set up with Broadband and have installed Office 2000.
I have set up Outlook to act as my default mail client without a problem,
however I also wish to be able to send and receive faxes.
However, when I try and set this up, the installation wizard claims it can't
find a modem on my computer and only standard "internal" modems are available
from the drop down box.
Any suggestions ?

Thanks
Bodie

Yes, get a regular telephone line and connect it to the standard "internal"
modem. Your broadband "Modem" is a network adapter and cannot be used to
send Faxes unless you hire an Internet E-faxing service:
