Sending a fax using a cable modem

<r>Fantastic, Richard, just what I wanted. efax etc and the free fax URL you sent are just the ticket.<br/> <br/> Re: Why use VoIP? The line rental for an Aussie phone line is high cf USA, $31.76/month. Calls are 40c ea. Then there's the 10% GS bloody T surcharge. My monthly phone bill has been cut ...

Sending a fax using a cable modem

<r>Hmm, I don't want to pour scorn on your solution but that's retro solution for what should be a simple problem in the 21st century. And it's getting hard to buy fax/modems now as everyone is swinging over to DSL/cable.<br/> <br/> The computer is upstairs and the cable connection coming in from th...

Sending a fax using a cable modem

<r>I'm not sure if this is the right forum but how the heck do you send a fax using Word and a cable modem?<br/> <br/> I figure I just need to send a fax a couple of times a year, so a subscription service is out of the question unless it's free.<br/> <br/> Any ideas are welcome.<br/> <br/> <br/> <b...

Netgear 824 router & heavy traffic

<r> Ok the screengrab didn't work b/c when I clicked on IMG (which I presume means image) it kept asking for a URL. The image is on my HDD.<br/> <br/> I must be tired or something (had a heart op last week) but I can't see where the upload image button is.<br/> <br/> --gd <br/> <br/> <COLOR color="#...

Netgear 824 router & heavy traffic

<r>There is one other device connected to the router, an ENGIN box. That is just a direct LAN connection. Hmm.. I didn't try disconnecting it to see if that makes a difference. Maybe...<br/> <br/> I'll try & see if I can attach an SPF screengrab.<br/> <br/> --gd<br/> <br/> <COLOR color="#888888"...

communication over telephone lines

<r> Now my knowledge of phone networks is getting a bit long in the tooth but they use or used to use, PCM (Pulse Code Modulation).<br/> <br/> When you talk, there are gaps in your speech. PCM fills those gaps with other people's conversations and it all gets unscrambled at the other end. This is ho...

Netgear FVS318v3 Prosafe VPN Router

<r> Have you thought about the possibility that your ISP could change your IP address each 24 hours like mine does? That would upset your VPN.<br/> <br/> Maybe you need a fixed IP address at either end.<br/> <br/> --gd <br/> <br/> <COLOR color="#888888"><s>[color=#888888]</s><SIZE size="85"><s>[size...

Netgear 824 router & heavy traffic

<r> Ok, I did a cntrl-alt-del, checked the running processes and IPX wasn't there.<br/> <br/> Checked the SPF incoming/outgoing block log and the address shown was 192.168.1.1 UDP and I think that's the router IP.<br/> <br/> Do we have a files area here? I'd like to send a screengrab of the SPF traf...

Netgear 824 router & heavy traffic

<r> I use 128 bit WEP encryption, Pest Patrol updated everyday and VET updated every day. M$ updates are automatic. I know my system is reasonably secure as tests from the Sygate PF site show all ports to be completely stealthed.<br/> <br/> I didn't know about IPX, I'll check it out, thanks.<br/> <b...

Netgear 824 router & heavy traffic

<r>Hi all,<br/> <br/> I have a Netgear 824 wireless router which I'm really happy with. However Sygate reports 1.5K-5.8Kbps incoming nearly the whole time being blocked. It appears to come from the router.<br/> <br/> I was wondering if this was a normal state of affairs with routers?<br/> <br/> --gd...
