Someone familiar with Windows XP Fax Program?

Question

I installed the Windows XP Fax Program (Microsoft Fax Console Ver. 5.1) and it doesn’t dial out. I can hear the modem getting dial tone but it doesn’t dial out. The modem works fine because I have dial-up internet and it dials O.K.
Need help if you are familiar with this program.
thanks
