Hi all, I currently work for home and need a way of sending faxes through my computer, as I dont have a printer or fax machine. I am running windows XP and are on broadband, is this possible or do I need to be linked to an outside line.
any advice would be grateful.

you could use an email based service, there are loads..
e.g.

ot if you have a dial-up modem in the PC, you could use that.

but it will need to be plugged into the phone line (via the filter if you have one)Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:0 -

There's no reason why you can't plug into your phone line and just use the XP resident fax facility.Apparently I'm 10 years old on MSE. Happy birthday to me...etc0

Yes, but you have to have the hardware too.0 -
Scanfax software allows you to scan in images and then send them via tpc.int. Tpc also allows you to send a quick text fax from its web page.
Scanfax download. The functions are not immediately explained, but a bit of prodding here and there soon yields the secrets.0 -
