Can this be used as a dialup *internet* connection modem? Dumb question, maybe, but I only see references to "fax" here. Thanks.

Yes it can be used for dialup. I was using mine for that before we got Skyrunner

56K and V.92 are both modem specifications. a faxmodem is a device which can be used to fax documents from your computer in addition to being able to be used as a modem. While I have heard of modems which cannot be used to fax documents, I have never heard of a "fax only" device. First time I used a modem was about 5 years before the internet was invented.

For clarification, this hardware is not an internet modem that you would to connect a PC desktop or laptop to the internet. This hardware is a data Fax (facsimile) modem. This piece of hardware is installed on PC and is used to send facsimile over phone line to a receiver facsimile machine. (I hope this explanation helps to clarify the confusing terminology.)

yes but it will interrupt the fax transmission. I'm not sure how you are using the modem. It connects to the computer and then the wall. The fax and/or phone are connected via a splitter from the wall jack. But regardless it will disconnect when a fax or a call comes in.

Yes you can use your phone as a modem. (caution make sure that you have data or internet access on your phone or you will get a big bill) for using the internet.

sorry - can't answer this question. I only used the modem for internet connection - not faxes.

You don,t need to connect to the internet to send and receive faxes. It,s been a while since i used mine but l am sure i did not need to configure anything. Hope this helps .

My computer is 64-bit Windows 7 machine, and modem works plug and play. You can use it to transfer any type of files, including PDF. It would be at dial-up speed though. It takes about 3 minutes a Mbyte. Can be used as speaker phone, but land line long distance charges would apply. Also works for faxing documents.

No. This device only works for telephone and fax purposes. It does not work as a DSL modem.

Can't answer either question. I occasionally send and receive faxes, so far has worked fine no issues. Getting to be an obsolete communication method.

Yes, you connect it to the house line. You might need to configure the program that you use, such as your fax software, to make sure it it pointing to the modem. Windows Uodate should automatically download and install the necessary driver. If it doesn't, try connecting the modem to a different USB port.

Yes it is. Install the package from the CD to your computer. Then go to system preferences to add "US Modem" in 'PRINTER' icon. RESTART your computer. And you are good to go. Plug a regular phone line into the US Modem, the US Modem to your computer and you are ready to fax. Whenever you want to fax, press print and select "US Modem". Enter fax to number, add cover pages etc and press FAX. You should be good to go. I love it. Simple, effective and I do not have to count on a fax machine or printing out paper to fax. I fax directly from my computer! Good luck!

There is no possibility of using fax with VOIP. Not now, not in the future. There's an internet article about this somewhere that I'm too lazy to look up.

Yes, if you can get it to FAX anything, you can FAX a PDF. However, I can't get my Windows 7 machine to use this modem, at all.

Yes, it can send and receive faxes, tho I only use it to send. I'm on my second MP830, the first one worked perfectly for 6 yrs, until a rubber band popped into the feed mechanism, unbeknownst.

You can fax from this unit (you only need to plug it into a phone cord); however, this would be one of the worst things you could do. Why? Doing so would mean that you've actually purchased this printer. If you send me $300, I'd be happy to burn it for you - you'll be much more satisfied with the result.

Mine did not come with built in fax capability. Personally, I use the wifi function, but there is a port for a phone line on the back of this machine.
1992102
yes. just make sure you have high speed internet and not too many users on your network when faxing

I'm running Windows 8 and it works fine a fax modem on my computer. I've never tried it for dial-up though.
