The virtual driver file DTASK.386 is not loaded!

Fax send and receive services will be unavailable under enhanced-mode Windows. Add the line 'device=DSTASK.386' to the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI.

A message may also appear on the status bar of ProComm Plus for Windows stating "Fax cannot open requested port" or errors about the fax service failing if you try to use any of the services provided for fax support.
