Use fax with Broadband?

isleofwight_3

Can anyone tell me if you can send and receive faxes with Broadband, without having to subscribe and pay, but by using existing Microsoft fax software installed with XP? I seem to have the software but I don't know what someone would have to phone in order for my modem to pick up the fax?

Comments would be appreciated.

You can use TPC to send faxes via e-mail. Check out http://www.tpc.int/

There are lots of fax to e-mail services out there that you can use to recieve faxes. But your best bet is hooking up the old 56K modem to your computer and using a telephone line.

Thanks for that Fragtech. I'll check out that website.

When it comes to hooking up to the phone line though it might be a bit difficult as my pc isn't situated in a room with a phone point now. :-/ But if I come to need it regularly then I guess I can fix up an extension point.

Thanks again.
