Faxing from Outlook 2003 -- What's involved in setup

Hi all,

What's involved in accepting faxes from within Outlook 2003? I'd
think there's some simple way of accepting faxes where they arrive as
'emails', but I'm unable to find anyway of doing it. I do have a fax
modem attached.

Suggestions? Do I need to purchase Winfax or something similar, or
will Office 2003 do faxing automatically?

Thanks,

Alex.

Outlook doesn't integrate well with fax software - if you need to receive
faxes in the inbox, have you considering internet faxing? send2fax, efax,
and venali all fax by email.

Assuming you are talking about modem faxing, Outlook 2003 integrates with
Windows 2000 Personal Fax and Windows XP Fax, which no longer support
routing to the Outlook Inbox.
