It is great that Windows XP comes with a fax utility and I have used it on several occasions. However, now I am on DSL, to fax I have to disconnect the DSL modem, connect the telephone line to the internal modem and when I have finished faxing, reset the DSL modem which entails unplugging modem, turning off computer, reconnecting DSL modem and turning on computer!!
