Excellent.

Perhaps the modem signal levels were very marginal for the call to DreamHost and something else on the line was providing just enough noise to stop things from working.

Would one of the devices you removed from the line happen to be an ADSL modem?

I thought there might have been. In my experience, even if you have the fax machine behind an ADSL filter (as you should), some noise can still get through. Also, the filter itself can attenuate the fax signal. A combination of this noise and the attenuation could have been your problem.

Anyway, I am glad to hear that you got it working.

Good luck.

Are you sure you are able to fax overseas? If no, try to go to post office.

Did you actually read the thread?

The original poster resolved the problem by removing other devices from the line.
