Sheesh... I need to find the xp cd... Until then I'm, just trying this mighty fax. Winfax stopped me from editing word documents. It kept giving me those end now messages.
Anyhoo, when I try to send w/ mightyfax I get:
Fatal Time Out
The root cause is that the fax program is waiting for a specific response from the modem (or the remote fax machine), and it doesn't receive the response within a given period of time.
It is possible that the remote fax is not sending either an end-of-page or end-of-document signal, which is required per the fax specs.
There could be a problem with the modem (or its drivers). Make sure you have the correct and latest drivers from the modem manufacturer.
You might be doing too much work in the foreground during a critical portion of the fax process. The fax process is very time sensitive, so heavy processing while sending a fax should be avoided. Especially true with software/winmodem modems.
Sometimes tweaking the Preference settings such as using the correct Modem Initialization String can help. Click the Suggest button to have MightyFax suggest configuration changes which might help.
Sending only: If this is an international or long distance call, it may be necessary to increase the amount of time needed for the call to occur. If you suspect this is the case, on the "Modem Initialization String Helper" screen, check the box labeled "The Faxmodem frequently hangs up before the faxmodem/fax machine on the other end answers and/or I have problems with international calls". This will increase the amount of time the modem will wait for a response after dialing.
Any ideas?
