After weeks of investigation I threw the winfax in the bin and downloaded the free version of Active-Fax. Especially if you have ISDN modem, as I do, this software is far better.
You can download it here http://www.actfax.com/en/download.html.
The license for one user is free and the key to enter during installation is 10025-49480
And the best of everything is that when you customize the software and you want to keep the settings in case you want to format your drive or install it on another computer, you copy all files of C:\Program Files\ActiveFax to the same location in your new computer and reinstall. All your settings and faxes are preserved.
You owe me one, because it took me weeks of frustration till I find this software.

Right click on winfax icon on systemtray ->Programm Setup -> Diling and Locations
Go on tab Locations
At Locations field choose: dial as entered
