I need a fax application - 5/9/2005 18:05:47   
Anyone know of a good, preferrably free, application for sending faxes over a cable connection?

Yep, search Windows help for XP, you can install a fax driver (and use that instead of printing)

With the WinXP fax service you need to connect via a phone line don't you? Unless maybe if you are doing VoIP?

Duane, I looked for one before and didn't find any free ones that send. There are quite a few that recieve for free, like k7.net. Maybe you will have better luck since this was a year or so ago.

Fax should be an option in your "send to" menu...

Right click, send to: Fax recipient

Also I think you can fax directly from some office applications, but I'm not sure..

It is an option, but then it wants to dial up via modem, which I don't have. :)

I'm on adsl, but when I built my new computer I included a cheap internal modem (in a PCI slot), specifically for the very rare occasions I need to use fax, or as backup for when adsl goes down (also rare). I think the card cost me less than AU$20, and obviously doesn't take up any deskspace or get dusty. I think in US they are $10-$13. Might be a solution to consider.

Otherwise there are Internet fax services, but I don't know how private or secure they are.

Aha, that might be a problem since you'll need a phone line to use a fax application of any kind...

You might want to look into something like efax ( http://home.efax.com/s/r/gen-efax-plus5?VID=33675&CMP=KNC-33675eFax1 )

I haven't used it in about 5 years... back then it was free for a number that was long distance to your area... $20 per month for a local line.

Not sure what the rates are these days...

Kitka, great idea. I have a an old 56k external fax/modem laying around and never even thought about using it. I use K7.net for incoming and can use this for the rare outgoing needs. Thanks!:)

"need phone line to fax"

Does that mean that all those people that are going VOIP on broadband and had given up their land phone line are unable to send a fax to a fax machine?

There is an extensive list of Internet fax services here:

This might be an option too:

No, but you would likely still need to hook a phone line into a modem (even if it's going thru your VOIP account)

... just like a telephone does...

But when you give up your land phone line your land phone line is dead.

Well ... there's good and there's free. :)

We offer good internet fax services (i.e. easy to use and reliable).

There are free options such as faxzero.com. Obviously, working for an Internet fax company - I'm not a regular user of their service. :)
