You already have the PC, so you can either get an external (serial port) fax/modem or a internal PCI slot fax/modem. Just make sure the internal is a hardware controller based fax/modem and not a soft-modem or win-modem.

When you fax to the internet instead of over the regular phone line you have with DSL and POTS service, you end up with your information in the hands of people you do not know and they may use or divert your faxes and any information they contain for their personal use.

Regular POTS fax/modems and fax machines do work over VOIP so you can save money if you need to fax over long distances and do not want high monthly fees from a regular POTS long distance provider. ;)

Cable and DSL do not support faxing.
Right now its either through a modem or one of those services. (actually through email I believe)
From what I know of those services, they are not free nor too reliable.
I would say either get a modem of fax machine. Either is not too expensive, the modem cheapest way out I think.

Faxing Options for DSL or Cable Modems

You can't use your DSL or cable connection for faxing. A new technology, Voice over IP (VoIP) will undoubtedly make this possible in the future. VoIP is an inexpensive alternative to traditional telephone communication that operates over the public switched telephone network (PSTN). VoIP covers computer-to-computer, computer-to-telephone, and telephone-based communications. For more information about VoIP, read the Voice-over-IP Overview and the VoIP FAQ from DLS Reports.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10337111 Tue, 25 May 2004 18:44:55 EDT Re: Faxing using a DSL line instead of a modem, he http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10336727 Bob Sanchez : If you're using XP, this may do the trick: »www.microsoft.com/WindowsXP/expe···er21.asp

Surely there's some software that will allow this. Can anyone help?
