You need a regular phone line to use the fax. A dsl line will not work.

Absolutely right - you CAN put a fax modem into your machine ( and keep your ADSL modem, too) and send a fax through it OR use an internet fax service (Google for "internet fax service") but it is likely to cost!! Alternatively, you can email????

Is this an analogue modem and is it configured and working correctly - an ADSL modem will not work.
Both an analog modem and DSL modem connect to the phone line via RJ11 and both can be in use at the same time - but not for fax
If you do not have an analogue modem you cannot send and receive faxes other than via an on-line fax service.

You would only need to dail "9", or any other prefix, if that was required to get an outside line from your address to make phone calls.
