| 107926 | 2002-12-21 05:19:00 | I never tried it but I think Outlook does that, I use Winfax for faxing myself. www.google.com www.google.com Try the above two links for information on some email to fax options, how many might apply to NZ I cannot say. Alternatively, get a stand alone free fax program. Bitware used to be free? and was often bundled with modems. There are other free fax software available which I cannot recall the name of just right now. |

| 107928 | 2002-12-21 22:44:00 | I was thinking of doing this myself, have got a fax program already installed on here, ever since i got this computer (winxphome)...and i tried faxing a friend but it keeps saying "dial tone not found" i tried both being online the internet and offline...and then i left it and tried it again sometime and it just completely wont send anything... We have a fax machine (a proper physical one) but...like if i move out and live by myself or wif a friend..i'd need a faxmachine to contact home or watever...(since i'm deaf)....so yeah hope someone can help :-) |

| 107929 | 2002-12-22 11:55:00 | You should start a new topic for setting up your computer as a fax machine. You modem has to be fax capable or it won't be able to work as a fax. You'll need fax software of course to be able to send/receive faxes. If all that is there... then most likely the problem is in the configuration of the fax software. Make sure you selected your modem to do the faxing. Make sure you aren't on the internet or anyone is using the phone when faxing or else it won't pick up the dial tone. If you start a new thread with the name/version of the software you are using as well. Possibly someone could give you more details of what you want. |

| 107930 | 2002-12-22 18:52:00 | Hey Chris, Just a thought. Do you have callminder at home? If so, ask someone to check to make sure that there are no messages there as the 'message notification tone' may be why the modem is not detecting 'dial tone'. Just a thought. In saying that I find the fax programme with XP very unreliable, my problem when using it says that there is always a 'busy signal' at the recipients end. I have winfax which works well but the wife finds winfax too complicated so that is why she uses XP fax programme. There is also something there with winfax to do with emailing but have never explored that option yet. sam m |
