Sending and Receiving faxes via Outlook2000

I am having difficulty in getting this to work.
Do I have to do anything to configure the Account?

At present an Account appears as follows:

Account: Symantec fax starter edition
Type: Mail
Connection: Local Area Network

As I am not on a Network I try to change the connection to show my Modem but
could not.

I have an internal fax modem which works and I am using Windows XP Pro.

Any suggestion to get this working will be much appreciated

All the known instructions for this highly outdated and highly dysfunctional
little fax module are here:

Good luck. You'll need it.

Why not working with Fax Service from Windows XP?

Because he's using Outlook 2000 in IMO mode. It does not support Windows XP
Fax.
