9 Configure your data and fax software

Before you can use your phone to send and receive digital data and fax calls, you must configure your data software so that it uses your phone rather than your existing modem. You may consider creating a separate set of dialing properties to use when your phone is connected to your computer, rather than changing any existing settings.
