Can I fax without a dial up modem

I have windows XP and I'm supposed to be able to fax with it.
I set it up and it tries to send and receive but it won't do it.

Someone says I need to have a dial up modem in the computer as I'm on broadband
Is that right?

    yes, fax is an analogue system which needs a modem, so won't work on broadband, but there are some online methods to send and receive faxes available.
