My fax console is GONE!!! (winxp sp2 )

OMG....
I downloaded Fax4Outlook the other day because I need to send and
receive faxes through my VoIP line. the software recommended that I use
configure Windows Fax, so through control panel-add/remove
programs-add/remove windows components, I clicked on the box for the
fax... went through a successful installation only to receive the
message "connection to fax server can not be made". I checked again the
windows component and the box was UNCHECKED... Like a recurring
nightmare I went through the checked, unchecked box merry-go-round to
no avail! Finally, trying something different, I decided to checked to
see if I could go through the fax console to send a fax without the
software, that's I'd noticed that it says 'empty' where the fax console
should be....

How can I recover the fax console? Is there a way to reinstall it?
How can I get that darned box to stay checked (windows fax config)?
Is there a work around? Can anyone offer a fix? I'd truly appreciate
the help....
