Same as always. The only free fax integration with Outlook is with Microsoft
fax products, all of which require an analog fax modem on an Windows HCL and
a standard analog fax phone line.

Thanks for the note...Any other suggestions? I typically send 5 fax /
month
and receive 10/month so I was looking for free or close to free as
possible.
Thanks!

Vonage is a VoIP service for which you will need a traditional fax modem
connected to an analog port on your router. In my experience however,
these 'fax' lines are not very reliable. Here's why;

'Internet fax' does not use a modem and simply sends documents from the
service providers client or plug-in to the service provider for
transmission.
