I have two phone lines with Ntl.
One I use as the main phone and the other which is Ex Dir is connected to the PC modem.
I have a dail up account with Zen, however the main use for this connection is for faxing my main spares suppliers. I have an ordering program that I can use to compile and then send stock orders direct to them via fax. I also send them frequent faxes via a separate fax program. This has worked perfectly well for over 4 years without any problems, in fact I sent 2 faxes to them yesterday without any problems.
I have just tried to send them a fax this morning and every time I click send it dials my other phone???
I have checked and rechecked the number I am entering is correct.
I did notice that a day or so ago Ntl engineers had two large manhole covers up at the end of the road and appeared to be pulling a thick black cable through, could they have disturbed something in the cabs?
