Brother MFC 5440CN
If you mean you aren't able to tell Windows Fax and Scan to use your Brother
MFC device to send and receive faxes, this is normal behavior; Windows Fax and Scan can only use an analog fax modem to send and receive faxes. Brother may have included a fax driver for their MFC device. This would need to be installed per Brother's documentation. If you've done this and it doesn't work, the folks at Brother are who you need to talk to.

Brother MFC 5440CN
Windows Fax and Scan is included with Windows Vista Business and Ultimate
versions, it is not included with, nor can it be acquired for Vista Home and Basic versions. If you have Vista Business or Ultimate, it is available from 'Control Panel|Programs and Features|Turn Windows Features on or off'. If you have Home or Basic, these third party fax applications are compatible with Vista: Snappy Fax http://www.snappysoftware.com/ RKSFax http://www.rkssoftware.com/rksfax/overview.html VentaFax http://www.ventafax.com/ FaxTalk FaxCenter Pro 7.5 http://www.faxtalk.com/products/ftfcp/index.htm I've seen reports that the free version of BVRP works with Vista also: http://www.usr.com/bvrp/bvrp.asp BVRP PhoneTools Since the above comes bundled with new USR modems, I don't know if it will work with non-USR modems. Note that NONE of these products are designed to work with the Fax section of an All-In-One device, they're all made for use with an analog fax modem. The only way you can use your computer to fax with your 5440CN is if Brother provided a driver to do it.
