The FUSE and HST spectra of dwarf novae in outburst, and of nova-like variables exhibit a wide range of characteristics. In a few systems, there are obvious signatures of a fast wind in the form of P-Cygni-like profiles of OVI and other relatively high ionization state ions. But this is rare. More common are systems with FUV spectra, showing a complex mixture of high and low ionization state lines. Here we describe attempts to reproduce the spectra using a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code developed to model bi-conical winds in disk systems.
