Default How to send and receives faxes in Outlook '07 w/ free vonage f

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!

that I was hoping to ultilize and keep up the *free* theme with
Outlook. I'm
running XP, with Office 07. I done the following in Outlook 07 =
tools,
account settings, new (on email tab) then added fax mail transport -
mapi.
Then go back to Outlook and hit new, interenet fax, I know get a
message - to
use fax service to send your fax, you must first sign up with
provider... and
they give you this link =

Here is the thing, I already have a free # with Vonage...Any way I can
make
this work? I imagine I missing something very simple...

Look foward to your replies and thank you in advance.

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.
