Hello,

my brand new Win XP SP2 does not recognize incomming calls.
The phoneline is attached to a SmartLink 56K Voice Modem and the fax service as well as the fax console is configured properly.

Next to me I have a Acer Extensa 4100 notebook with also a SmartLink 56K Fax Modem and o this with the same line everything is working properly.

I checked both settings and they are all same exept Control Panel>Phone and Modem Options>Advanced>NDIS Proxy TAPI Service Provider>Configure>Media selector is on 'Group 3 Fax' at the notebook and on 'Data' on the PC. But when I change the setting on the PC to 'Group 3 Fax' the new selection does not apply, it always auto switches back to 'Data'.

As I need the fax very urgently I hope that you can assist me in this.

Thanks

Khan

Check and compare the modem logs.
www.modemsite.com/56k/modemlog.asp

The modem may not be recognizing the ring of the phone line / may not be set to the correct country; or auto-answer may not be enabled.
You can test the modem's ability to recognize the phone ringing and answer with Hyperterminal connected directly to the modem COM port see

ATS0=1
will set the modem to answer on the first ring.

Aloha! Richard.

can it be that my new modem does not have a fax feature? because at my notebook the device manager shows a 'smartlink fax-modem' and my pc shows a 'smartlink voice modem'.

No, the modem does support fax.
