I just installed Panther yesterday. Was anxious to use the fax capability. Just tried it from a couple of apps: TextEdit, AppleWorks. Both times, after setting everything up and pressing the FAX button, the modem gets stuck in the "Preparing fax" state. It's been there for 10 minutes now. Tried deleting the job & starting over a few times ... same result. Any ideas? By the way, haven't tested receive yet. Terry (tfarrah at mindspring dot com)

I had the same problem. I was able to get around it by restarting my computer. If I have to restart every time I want to send another fax this won't be very convenient. But, at least I was able to get it to send this one.
