Mark/DSL v. Cable The primary concern with cable access is shared bandwidth. This leads to security concerns & likely/potential congestion as more & more cable subscribers rely upon the same pipe. DSL on the otherhand, relies upon a single pair of copper between the home & the telco's CO. No security problem; no LOCAL congestion problem. However, congestion does occur along the Internet backbone, which is a shared pipe. So quoted speeds, whether DSL or cable may very well not be met. I can only speculate that the maximum speeds of 7-10 Mbps quoted by the cables may only be achieved by subscription to a private intranet or virtual private network that guarantees the user maximum bandwidth availability. Jim S./Fax File Retrieval Sorry can't help. Just use Microsoft Fax for sending & a fax machine for receiving. Although all fax communication is digital, you are probably correct in presuming the problem you are experiencing is the format the software you have stores the fax files on your disk.
