Default Fax console doesn't work anymore now that I switched from dial - u

I possibly have a similar setup with ComCast broadband. Trying to send a
fax thru Outlook, I got a "no dial tone" message.

If you still have a conventional desk phone, I took the incoming line to the
equipment, and plugged it into my computer, long enough to send the fax.

*** Be careful : my previous unsuccessful fax attempts were stored
somewhere on my computer and were also sent when I finally provided a dial
tone to my computer and Outlook's fax program.

Outlook's fax program, I'm assuming it's an Outlook function : I get a
"Fax Monitor" pop-up when I'm faxing, but I can't find any documentation of
it in "Help". It's very basic, and simply sends your email subject and text
as a fax. 'Haven't figured out cover sheet or other options, if there are
any.

High speed.

Message I get is - No dial tone the phone line is in use or not connected.

Appreciate any help. I really like to be able to fax word docs directly
from the computer. Hate to have to buy an actual fax machine.

Thanks.
