What number are you using? Since you are from Australia you should be using the following number...

0011 1 714 990 2600

Strange. As far as I am aware that fax number is still valid.

Perhaps the fax machine at DreamHost is not functioning correctly and this being the Christmas weekend, there may not be anyone there to rectify the problem.

About all I can suggest is to keep trying.

One other thing that comes to mind, are you sure that the fax machine you are using works? Has it been used recently?

I didn't think the problem would be that simple, but it was worth asking. Smile

As I said, about all I can suggest is that you keep trying (maybe after the Christmas weekend). You could send an email to DreamHost using the form linked below, but I doubt that you'd get a reply before the fax started working.

I am not 100% sure, but I think the 0015 International FaxStream service is only available if Telstra is your provider.
