I have not used a fax machine for the last five years - I finally gave away my 'Brother' fax machine last year.
Now (S0d's Law) a potential customer has asked me to 'fax' him some information as he is possibly the last person in the UK without Internet Access.
Hence my question - I am looking for a good, free, downloadable fax modem for my laptop - any ideas, please?
I have a Sony VAIO - VGN-A2 series laptop and run Windows XP.
I am the first to admit that I am totally 'computer illiterate' and it may well be that the required software is already 'lurking' somewhere on my computer - I use MS Office 2003.
So, even if it includes a well deserved ticking off for my lack of knowledge, I would appreciate your help.
Thanks

If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

There's something called eFax which could be just what you're after.
Try here :- www.efax.com
It's not exactly free (but, then again, normal faxing isn't either) but they do have a 30-day free trial.:wall: Flagellation, necrophilia and bestiality - Am I flogging a dead horse? :wall:
Any posts are my opinion and only that. Please read at your own risk.0 -
If they are running WindowsXP, then they might be able to receive without any additional software.
If this is the case, take a look at the following Microsoft page:-
How to enable and configure the Fax Service in Windows XP
That page also contains links to the pages detailing how to send/receive faxes.0 -
I use faxtastic (http://www.faxtastic.co.uk/) as long as you receive a fax every 90 days it's free to receive faxes and 10p per page to send them.0
