You too, huh?  My problem is different: I simply cannot send a fax with my
modem (ZyXEL U-1496E), because PMPFax doesn't seem to be using the same
definition of "class 2" as the modem (not surprising), and "class 2.0"
simply doesn't work.  I can't use "class 1", because the modem doesn't
tell the computer that it supports this unless a certain S-register bit is
set, and PMPFax is resetting the modem before asking.

The program worked OK (with class 1 only, despite the modem supporting
class 2) with a Rockwell-based modem I brought home from work.

I E-Mailed PMP about this, but never got a reply.

My current opinion of PMPFax is: nice concept, shame it doesn't work. 
Faxination may be braindead, but it works.

Insufficient hard drive space?  A setup step missed?  INIT conflict? 
Directory structure of hard drive damaged?

Check that your outgoing fax folder is set correctly.

I've never tried receiving, but sending worked OK (with the right modem).

Nope.

Doesn't look good.  Has anyone heard anything from PMP since this program
was released?
