Modem Doctor is a diagnostic and debugging tool included with all FaxTalk fax software. The program will log modem and FaxTalk related events and copy specific system settings from your Windows registry in to a Modem Doctor (.MDR) file. Modem Doctor is a logging tool and it does not make any changes, modifications or repairs to any system. It can help reduce the time it takes to troubleshoot a problem and also provides the technician some basic information about your specific system; such as modem type, model, driver version and other technical details about the system being used. It does not include actual fax documents or user data however, any outgoing fax numbers you attempt to dial out or caller id information for incoming calls may be displayed in the log while the Modem Doctor program was active.
To start Modem Doctor, click on Help, Modem Doctor from your FaxTalk software.
Click on the Log drop down menu and select Log Application and Log Modem. A check-mark should appear on both these entries.
While the FaxTalk Modem Doctor program is open, it will log all events sent to the FaxTalk software and modem.
For example, if you are having problems with sending a fax, you can now attempt to send a fax and Modem Doctor will record the process and events during the transmission. If you are having problems receiving faxes, try sending a fax to yourself and have Modem Doctor record the session.
When you are done logging, you can save the Modem Doctor (.MDR) file by clicking File, Save As… Choose a location where you want to save the file and click OK. Close the Modem Doctor program to stop logging events.
If a GetFaxing representative requested a copy of the Modem Doctor file, attach the Modem Doctor (MDR) file you saved and e-mail to GetFaxing.com technical support.
