Until recently I've been able to send and receive faxes using the software
that came with Vista but now I can only receive them, every fax I try to
send gets "call not answered" message.

It is of course possible that the calls are not being answered but unlikely
as I've tried many different numbers.

Any idea what may be causing this?

I would be looking at the Modem. Possibly something lacking in the 'init'
string. Try removing the modem in device manager, and see if it rebuilds
that.
Go to Start/Run, and type DEVMGMT.MSC , highlight the Modem device, Action
menu, "Uninstall", (do Not put a check in 'delete driver") then Action
menu,"scan for hardware changes", to find the device drivers again
automatically.

I've done what you suggest but still can't send any faxes, - now with every
fax I try to send I am told the number I've dialled is not recognised!
