You should be able to plug in your phone in parallel with the modem, i.e. buy a splitter for $3 and plug in your phone and modem into the same jack. Then, just hang up during the fax transmission. This assumes that WinFax holds the line before and after transmission, so you don't get disconnected at the end of the fax. I haven't used WinFax enough to know that this is true, though. However, the easiest way to know for sure is to try it out with your existing modem, i.e. get the splitter and plug the phone into the splitter instead of into the modem. Then try out the above procedure. If it works, then it should also work with the PCMCIA modem. --andy
