Fax from PC

flyer

Someone told me I can send faxes directly from my PC but I can't see how.

I'm running Xp with an NTL Broadband connection.

Any ideas? (Idiot's guide, please)

Many of the old dial-up modems could send / receive faxes with the appropriate software.

The way to do it now is to use an email to fax service. These are explained quite well here

Hi there, Windows Xp ships with fax software allowing you to send and recieve.

The software is an option called fax manager to install it goto add / remove programs select "add remove windows components" and you will find fax services there,

You will need an old style modem connected to your telephone line for it to work !

if you do go down this route make sure you keep your machine clean of viruses , dial ups etc (or simply unplug the cable when not in use)

I use the system for all the junk faxes saves on the toner!

There are companies that you can use to do this sort of thing (https://www.efax.com is one) but they can be expensive.
