    Use my router as a fax modem?


    Is it possible to use my netgear router as a fax modem with windows fax? I am sure it can be done as very few people have old clunky modems these days.

    Any ideas folks?

    Hi Andy

    I've found this thread on another forum which may or may not shed some light on the issue for you.

    This is a DSL device. It does not have the ability to act as a fax/voice modem.
