I have a digital phone line through my cable company and can still use my
analog modem and AIO printer's FAX capability.

I would buy your explanation EXCEPT that when in all other versions of
Windows were you blocked from faxing?

Hint: NEVER!

I went to HP to try and download appropriate drivers. HP says," Vista
already contains needed drivers." I've hated Vista for a long time. XP
remains infinately superior mainly due to the lack of bait-and-switch as
opposed to it being the reason for Vista's existance.

Vista's other maddening defense is that unless you drop a bundle not only
will not let you replace it, it won't even let you erase it.

I had recently purchased a new computer and I thought 'Soft may have
corrected this crap. Especially when it first came out I thought that they
just came out a couple of years to early with it with it and just didn't get
the bugs out. Oddly enough I was able to fax with it. Imagine my surprise
when I found out that I sucks more now!!

As far as needing a more elaborate version, I don't recall that faxing was
just a use of business?

You are just a little arrogant.

Windows Millennium had no fax software. Time for you to return to
the turkey flock you came from. You are certainly no eagle!
