Here's what I'm using: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...999&CatId=2713 For $40 more than the cost of the upgrade, you can have a laser printer/scanner/copier/fax machine. It does a great job at all tasks, and includes PC fax capabilities. Or, for another $50, you can get the same machine with an Ethernet connection. A true network printer. |

These Fax products work under Vista:
Snappy Fax http://www.snappysoftware.com/ RKSFax http://www.rkssoftware.com/rksfax/overview.html VentaFax http://www.ventafax.com/ FaxTalk FaxCenter Pro 7.5 http://www.faxtalk.com/products/ftfcp/index.htm I've seen reports that the free version of BVRP works with Vista also: http://www.usr.com/bvrp/bvrp.asp BVRP PhoneTools Since the above comes bundled with new USR modems, I don't know if it will work with non-USR modems. You can also send Faxes via your Internet connection provided you are willing to pay for an Internet E-Faxing service: http://www.slipstick.com/addins/serv...tm#internetfax Personal Fax Services - Internet Fax http://www.savetz.com/fax/ FAQ: How can I send a fax from the Internet?

Here are two options: 1. There are several third-party fax applications. Most (if not all) of these are way under $159. I've never personally used any of these, so I'll let someone else recommend one. 2. Buy a standalone fax machine. That's my choice. I bought mine on sale for $20, and it works just fine. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
