If HP will not help you then perhaps it is time to move to a Online Fax solution and rule out your physical fax modem.
With Online Fax you can send and recieve physical fax messages from an email account. It ends up being a few more steps (scan the document, save locally, enter special email address) but provides you with much more relyability and convenience of converting all fax messages to email.
