Part of GeoPort FaxSoftware. The Fax Extension is used to send and receive fax AT commands to and from the modem. It sets the fax modem's mode, speed, and resolution for a fax transmission. This extension allows you to send and receive faxes using the GeoPort Adapter. If Fax Extension is taking an excessive amount of time to load at startup, it is because, at startup, the Fax Extension is accounting for each received Fax document stored in the Received Faxes folder (its path is System Folder, Global Fax Files, Received Faxes). If you keep a large number of received Faxes and don't delete them, the Fax extension takes longer to load. Try to delete or move as many of the received Faxes as possible to another location on your hard drive. If you need to view a relocated Fax later, you will have to move it back into the Received Faxes folder. Anyway, if you don't have a GeoPort modem, this extension can be discarded.
