| 331488 | 2005-03-09 07:30:00 | Hello Tony, "Thanks for that Alan. I think the article may a be a bit out of date (Oct 2002) as it says you can't use fax over ADSL, whereas I know for a fact that people here do" This article is still completely correct in what it states, there never was and still never is a way to send a fax using ADSL technology. You must as the article says either use a dial up modem or an online service for sending faxes, there is no other way if you wish to use solely your PC "What do you mean by "large quantities"? My wife's massed OE6 mail folders come to about 230mb, which it seems to handle OK" Exactly what I say, Plenty of people store huge amounts of data in OE folders, I have one client who stored his whole genealogy photo set in an OE folder with the photos still attached to the email, this one folder was close to 1GB in size. he saw no reason to change his storage method either until things turned to custard and OE refused to load. My recommendation is if your storage requirements are in the 100s of megabytes use Outlook and use the Auto Archive to keep the amount of mail actually being accessed at any one time manageable.

(I'm not arguing, just asking, and I haven't actually witnessed it happening). You must as the article says either use a dial up modem or an online service for sending faxes, there is no other way if you wish to use solely your PCSo if I have an adsl line, can I still "dial up" using an ordinary modem if I want to? I've committed to adsl on the basis that I could still fax, so if I can't, then I have to find an alternative. :confused: |

| 331491 | 2005-03-09 08:56:00 | Hello Again Tony, "Have a look here. Would that be how my friend is doing it? (I can't ask him directly because he is away.)" That diagram depicts a typical ADSL Modem for the Internet working in conjuction with a 56K Dial up modem for sending faxes. It shows exactly what you would need to do to achieve your requirements. The only Hardware you need is a Dial up Modem, which you probably already have As previously stated the only other way your friend could send a fax with ADSl is by using a third party provider subscribed to through the Internet.
