Cannot Fax from G4 MDD!
Have you thrown out the fax settings and the modem prefs (if any?) What happens if you dial your voice line ...does it even try to connect...if it does you'll hear the fax noises. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona What FAX software are you using? John Carmonne Yorba Linda USA I have not tried to toss the settings and prefs yet but I will try that next. Thanks! If I dial my voice line, the phone rings. If I pick it up, I hear a slow beeping like the fax is waiting to hear a signal from the phone/fax it called. However when I dial a real fax machine it still does not work. I'm using the software supplied by Apple. I'm not in front of the computer now (writing this from work), but it's whatever came with the computer + any system upgrades to 10.4.11. Thanks, Gary *Gary Sucher **gsuc...@gmail.com* gsuc...@gmail.com** Jun 28 09:48AM -0400 ^https://mail.google.com/mail/html/compose/static_files/blank_quirks.html#digest_top Hi all. Perhaps you can help me. I have a 2003 single 1.25ghz MDD running Tiger 10.4.11. There's the internal Apple v.92 'Dash 2' modem, and Apple software. I get online via ethernet so I use the modem only for faxing a couple times a year. At some point, a year or 2 ago, I realized I could not fax out (I do that only once a year or 2), but could continue to receive faxes. The indicator says dialing, then it hangs up. The fax goes to 'hold' and tries again in 5 minutes unless I cancel it. I have a dedicated line so I 'faxed' to my other phone. It did ring, and I picked it up to listen to the sound. My fax just 'beeped' every few seconds, but there was no whining 'faxing' sound. I looked around the web and only occasionly saw people with similar problems, but with no definitive answers. Just helpful suggestions such as, 'get an external fax machine', and 'email your documents instead'. Anyone have the same problem or, better, a solution?

Thanks in advance, Gary This may sound dumb but go to the print and Fax pane in the system prefs and turn off receive fax on this machine and reboot and see if that fixes it Also toss all the plist and prefs.

Re: Cannot Fax from G4 MDD!
Just to be sure, I attempted to fax to a machine I know is working. Same issue. I verified later that the remote fax is, indeed, working. My computer indicates that it is dialing, then it just hangs up and places the outgoing fax on hold for 5 minutes, and tries again. Restarting the computer doesn't change anything. I can receive faxes no problem. Any ideas?

It likely doesn't make the whining fax sound because it's not getting any acknowledgement from the beeps that you have another fax machine on the receiving end, which you don't in your test. This would lead one to the conclusion that perhaps the FAX #'s you're dialing are no longer valid and that your Mac is actually working properly, it's just that there's no FAX machine or FAX computer on the receiving end? Have you tried to verify that the receiving end is working properly? You said you have a dedicated line so just try to fax to any number in ear shot it will ring even though it's not a FAX machine.
