windows 7 external fax modem

I found a link to this but it was 459 days ago.Suggested starting a new thread.
I discovered my original PC usb modem (circa 2001) so I tried the set-up procedure and it informs me my fax is installed correctly.
I tried to send to my own number, before I set-up receive faxes.I also tried to send to "fax toy" just to test the set-up.All give the message "pending".I have connected to the same telephone connection as my home phone.Should I disconnect my home phone for the test?
