Like for most, sending a fax is a rare event and used to work with the currently installed hardware but doesn't with Win 8.1. It has been about a year since I sent a fax so I don't know when it stopped working. What is happening is that the fax number
gets dialed, the fax handshake starts and then Windows disconnects the modem after about 5 second which isn't long enough to complete the fax handshake. The phone line is still active and the receiving fax machine is still trying to complete
the handshake. It seems there should be a configurable setting for how long to allow to complete the handshake but I can't find it. Any suggestions?
