There is no buffer in Fax? Catt 8/6/2006 2:03:01 PM Hi, I have Windows XP. It seems there is no way to receive faxes without the computer being on or, if there is, I can't find it. I like the Windows Fax program and prefer it to all other faxes in my business mostly because it can keep the faxes in memory. But why can't I receive with the PC powered down? Thanks Catt

How would an incoming fax find a machine that is powered off? What indication would the incoming fax have that your machine actually exists? None. Why would you expect a machine that is powered off to be able to perform anything? -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Re: There is no buffer in Fax? Catt 8/6/2006 7:40:02 PM Wrong forum? My browser says "Outlook Fax" so can you give me the right one or a name?. When I wrote "powered down" I meant in the standby mode. So I didn't make it clear. So why can't I receive faxes in the standby mode?
