| 1247237 | 2011-12-05 20:40:00 | How do I go about for Win 7 to be able to receive (automatically) and send faxes? What hardware do I need? A normal dial-up modem with fax capability will do the job? What software required? Suggestions, please. |

| 1247238 | 2011-12-05 21:56:00 | All you need is a faxmodem. If you use 64 bit make sure the modem has 64 bit drivers. Altho it may depend on what version of Win7 you've got. It may have Windows fax and scan | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1247239 | 2011-12-05 22:14:00 | Windows 7 on my 32 and 64bit system has Fax and Scan software. All you need is a dialup modem. Maybe you have a laptop already - that might suffice than buying a modem card ....... You can enable auto receive faxes via - Fax settings (tools menu) and there is a checkbox "allow the device to receive fax calls" then either "manual answer" or "automatic answer after [] rings". Oh, and if you enable auto receive faxes, you may miss phonecalls if you don't have a faxline ..... so turn that if when no longer need. |

| 1247241 | 2011-12-05 22:42:00 | Windows fax and scan will be in the menu. If your version has it. Dont know if Prem has it, I've got Pro. But you need a faxmodem to use it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1247243 | 2011-12-05 23:19:00 | apparently not in your Vista edition... With the January 2007 release of Windows Vista, the Fax and Scan program and function was included on the higher-end Business, Ultimate, and (optionally self-installed) Enterprise editions, but excluded from the Home Basic and Premium editions but back in all versions of 7 faxanswers.com *EDIT* well, seems it is in Home Prem after all, according to Gary's post above |

| 1247245 | 2011-12-06 07:31:00 | Found a Pragmatic AMI-IA56 modem, plug it into my Win7 machine, win7 detected it but could not find any driver for this hardware. Googled without luck. Is there any Win 7 compatible modem around? |
