Sending a fax from a normal fax machine to a PC ...
Can anyone advise please ...
Someone asked me if they could send me a fax but I can't receive a fax as I don't own a fax machine. However, I do own a PC and run Microsoft Outlook. Please forgive me if I am asking a silly question but is it possible for someone to send a fax from a standard fax machine to my PC so I can read the fax? If so, how can it be achieved. Do I need some special software or anything? TIA. -- NDB. (Remove [nospam] from e-mail address when corresponding by e-mail) |

Do I need some special software or anything? winfax (or whatever software you google up) and a fax/modem or have them fax it to the closest kinko's center around your neigborhood -a|ex |

(Remove [nospam] from e-mail address when corresponding by e-mail) We are supposed to GUESS what operating system you use or, if it is Windows, WHICH version of Windows? Windows 2000/XP has a Fax Service that you can use to send and receive faxes provided you have a fax-capable analog modem. Start - Programs - Accessories - Communications. I prefer not to have the Fax Service answer all my incoming telephone calls and I'm not going to pay for a separate phone line just for faxing which I do maybe once a year. The only time I get stuck faxing is with the government since everyone else has gone to e-mail. Instead I use the free eFax service to receiving inbound faxes via e-mail and I use the Fax Service to send outbound faxes using my data/fax modem. Don't bother installing any of the eFax software. You won't need it. Start - Help and Support Search on "fax". -- __________________________________________________ ___________ Post your replies to the newsgroup. Share with others.
