Check for a large number of saved Faxes. The TelePort/Bronze (Fax Modem) control panel scans the Fax folders often to see if any status has changed and if a Fax needs to be re-sent. A large number of waiting or saved Faxes will require more drive access and slow down the computer.
For example, you're running ClarisWorks and it's responding slowly. In checking your Fax folders you find 9 Faxes waiting and 30 Faxes saved.
When possible, remove any unwanted Faxes from the Spooled Fax folder from within the GlobalFax Files folder in the System Folder. Either trash them and try Faxing later, or move them to a separate folder and try Faxing later.
Note: To improve Fax performance when sending a Fax with the GlobalFax driver turn Virtual Memory OFF and 32-bit Addressing ON.
