Problems setting up Fax Account in Windows Vista Ultimate
I have Windows VISTA Ultimate. I have a recognised fax modem installed. I
have verified VISTA can test and validate it is working. When I try to set up a Fax Account - Fax and Scan / Tools / Fax Accounts / Add / Connect to a fax modem / Chose a Modem Name - no matter what I enter in this field, I get an error message "The mentioned fax server is not available. Please correct the server name and try again" Can you suggest a solution? |

Just because Vista can recognize your modem does not mean it is a fax modem
that supports Class 1 or Class 2 and is on the VHCL. Verify that it is. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "ashforma" wrote in message ... I have Windows VISTA Ultimate.

Problems setting up Fax Account in Windows Vista Ultimate
Russ,
Modem is Conexant HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP Driver Update SP36392 HP released it 2007-07-30 This seems to be the modem installed in HP Pavilion laptops. It is on COM3, it passes the windows device manager test. It appears to be a 56k fax data modem, I believe it is class 1 FYI, UAC is disabled; I am the administrator of the system.

So answer my question. Or did you expect me to check the VHCL for you?

The verification report does not look encouraging, neither does the fact
that it's not certified. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "ashforma" wrote in message news Yes, I did.

I'd also try opening an incident with Microsoft since they did certify the
modem as "working." -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "ashforma" wrote in message ...
