I think therein lies the key to your problem. If you're not doing a lot 
of faxing then its hard to know if the problem is at your end or if its 
somewhere else (like your ISP). Sending or receiving a fax every now 
and then means you can easily fall into this situation:

	1) after a successful fax or two during a given period of time you 
think AHA! this is working without a hitch.

	2) after an unsuccessful fax or two during a given period of time you 
think DANG! this is no longer working....what changed at *my* end?

At least that has been my experience using several VOIP providers but 
always the same ISP with no changes at my end.

It comes down to the fact that some people are lucky to have an ISP 
that maintains their network properly while others must suffer at the 
hands of an ISP that does a really crummy job.
