If you use XP, you can add fax software, by going to add/remove programs / add / remove windows components.

Tick fax services, you'll need a faxmodem though

715466 2008-10-28 20:20:00 depends on the phone number you dail. tweak'e (69)
715467 2008-10-28 20:24:00 As tweak'e said, it depends on the number that you are sending the fax to, just like a phone call or a normal fax without the PC.
The only thing it is saving you money on is paper as you don't have to print anything out first to fax it.

715469 2008-10-29 07:08:00 OK. I take it from that, that if you were able to fax using dialup Internet access (using specific fax software, or sending it to a printer which is a fax and dialed from within Word (usually)), that that doesn't work with Broadband? Is my assumption correct? Cheers A Team (13613)
715470 2008-10-29 07:31:00 You could try a service like: www.tpc.int which offers a free PC-fax service thanks to the support of local organisations. somebody (208)

Is my assumption correct?It would work if you had a fax-modem installed and connected via an ADSL phone filter. Your fax-modem will make a phone call like a regular fax machine does to send the fax.

715473 2008-10-29 09:56:00 I think some Fax software can send it through internet like VoIP does with phone calls, or how Email works.

Thus, any kind of connection would work, as long as it was internet.
