Hi
I got Win Xp Pro, and an ADSL line, and would like send & received faxes directly on my PC,

A also have WINFAX Pro installed, I'm not sure how to configure the system to send and receive faxes.
P.S. I don't have a Fax modem on the PC,
Thank you

As I understand it, WinFax Pro's purpose in life is to manage a FaxModem, so I'm thinking that's not going to work for you.

A friend gets a lot of faxes that consist of three or more sheets of paper. He has a dedicated fax phone line and a separate fax machine. He wants to be able to receive the faxes in his email or on his PC before they are printed, so he can discard cover sheets and other wasted pages. How can he route his phone "received" faxes thru his PC? Thanks

I am hoping for a little more specific help relative to my particular setup. I do not fax much but would like to be able.
I have a canon 830 all purpose scanner/printer/fax machine & Comcast cable internet. I no longer have landline phone so I cannot simply plug the fax machine into the phone jack anymore. I have HotSpot@Home by T Mobile instead.
I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

Leo can I receive a fax on my fax machine and have it sent in a soft format from my fax machine to my PC. At the moment I'm using a Canon MF5770 "all in one" and I'm networked to the machine and using it for scanning from this all in one. Likewise I'm wondering if I can photo copy to soft from this unit to my computer. Trying to move away from print outs from this machine and have the scan, copy and faxes route directly to adobe or some sort of soft file on my PC for back up etc..

Thanks,

I used WinFax Pro in the nineties, then BitFax for a few years, but now I use a virtual service from aql.com
Its UK based so great if you want a UK fax number
https://www.aql.com/telecoms/site/email2fax.php

What drew me to virtual fax services was the person at the other end gets a good quality print out if you use fine mode, so its great for technical stuff, drawings etc.
So even if you have a fax machine its still worth using a virtual service as well. Try it.

I configured my Windows Fax Program to send and receive but the receive option is problematic. It went well for a while, but has been refusing to receive now for the last 3 weeks. It seems the Winfax program is no longer available for purchase.

I use a service called faxcomanywhere - its sends faxes right from desktop. So I don't have to buy a fax machine.

I've been using Winfax for years, but there's no password protection with the program. Is there anything that can be done to make those files more secure?

I am able to send faxes using two PC software programs. However, neither of the two programs can receive a fax. Why? Where should I look to fix the problem? I hear the incoming call get answered, but it doesn't negotiate or hold the connection.
Thanks,

I use MightyFAX($20) to send from my computer. No
way to send a signature, unless I figure out a way
to save mine as a .jpg I do NOT have a FAX modem,
and maybe I was stupid to pay $20 for the software when you can buy FAX machines on sale for $30. I use
CALLWAVE for incoming faxes.I get very few anyway.

Dear Leo:

Browsing your page for some time. Picked up a lot. Out of it to long. Just signed up. Appreciate your style. Easy on the cranium; but 'sub-net' still fuzzy. Block diagram might help.

1) Re article, faxing via comp should be simpler nowadays (men on moon 35 yrs ago already) and, logically, at no added cost (above current). Already paying for ADSL - which handles fax/phone + Internet, simultaneously.

Temp helping friend in Thailand. Two comps & Samsung Multi-Function on LAN & on-line. Fax OUT part only won't work. Wonder if to do w/ ISP - but makes little sense. Can't get thru to Samsung on Net. Now want try 3rd party software to fax direct from comp over ADSL.

Article mentions 'dial-up' - no ADSL. Dial-up here is, well, shall we say, no comment - and more costly, to boot. ADSL here, in comparison, is CHEAP (low, fixed monthly rate),no time limit, SUPER FAST - and one effectively gets 2 lines for less than the price of one.

Therefore - is there a software solution possible via one of those, for the moment, basic, free, no-frill packages that we could try out first on our ADSL?
