Fax Status Icon

[jgessing]

According to MS. After you have installed fax services, and are in the process of sending a fax, you are supposed to get a FAX status icon in your system tray.

So anyway, not worrying about that, I attempted to send a fax, and the number listed happened to have an answering machine on it.

I could not find a way to tell XP to hang-up, short of pulling the phone line out of the wall.

Now it keeps attempting to re-send the FAX !
No pending faxes appear in my fax monitor screen, and the afore mentioned fax icon in the system tray is still not there even after rebooting

I believe I have followed all of the rules, but I still get no FAX status icon.

Has anyone gotten XP's built in fax to work correctly ?

ain't there a way in control panel, printer & fax, to delete the job?

You would think, wouldn't you.
I can go to he properties of the FAX, which brings up the Fax monitor, showing incoming and outgoing faxes, however nothing is there.

It's like a phantom fax.
