Recieving Faxes On Computer

[RicardoObviouso]

how to?

 

 

I currently use a fax machine with its own direct number. I want to recieve (and possibly send) faxes on my computer instead.

[hum-an-ole]

good question, i'd like to know the answer to this too.

Yeah, I've been wondering about that lately as well.

do you have a 56k modem installed? you can use the modem as a fax machine.

OS?

 

On windowz you need to install the fax machine thing... or at least you did on older windows.

 

On OS X... if you have a modem installed, then you need to add a fax machine in Print & Fax, and then you can configure it's receive options.

 

I can give more detail if I know what you want to know.

Win XP. And I'm not sure I have a 56k modem installed.

[Crusader]

Do you have any sort of dial up modem installed?

[Shiri]

I have another PC that definitely has a 56K dial up. What's next?

e-Fax is the simplest solution ;)

[ToadMan]

We where ask a question about getting computers to receive faxes... though getting an e-fax number is by far the easiest... or getting a fax machine.

 

On windows you have to install the fax stuff, and then set it up... damned if I can remember how to do it.

Google for the win!

What my dad's business used to do is have a dial-up modem installed in your computer, then install fax software on your computer. I'm sure you can get some free shit somewhere.

 

Plug your fax line into your modem, and the fax software will pick-up the call & WHAMMO!!

 

To send, i'd imagine you'd need a scanner to send hard copies (or a digital camera & a steady hand LOL) & send it through the fax software.

 

the e-fax thingy sounds cool & easy though.
