Hello,
I have changed fax system to use WinXP fax.

(*.fxo)?

Symantec used to provide a utility for that.

My guess is they pulled it long ago.

Microsoft wrote an AWD->TIFF converter and placed it on the
WinXP CD. It is also on some Windows 2000 CD's.

Look under i386\win9xmig\fax\ for a file called awdvstub.exe

Run it with no command line arguments to get its options. Use the '/c'
option to convert an AWD file to a TIFF file.

You can also copy the file to your hard drive and associate AWD files with
it. Then double clicking an AWD file will convert it and open it in the
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. For the utility to run correctly You must
also have a copy of "fxstiff.dll" on your hard drive, usually in the
Windows\system32 folder and/or the Windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3
folder. Normally that dll will be in place already if you've installed the
Windows XP Fax Program.

Also, some third party utilities sych as PolyView support opening and
converting AWD files (http://www.polyview.com)
