Fax Program?

[Janna]

I'm wondering about the sanity of purchasing a fax program for my computer (a refurbished DELL Optiplex GX1). I have a good printer (3-in-one - scan, print, photocopy) so don't want to get a 4-in-one, but one of my jobs seems to want me to be able to fax my timesheets in instead of e-mailing them (I prefer scanning and then e-mailing).

So - what's the best choice of program (cheaper is easier on the budget), or is it even advisable to get one of these things? I'm assuming I can scan in the timesheet and then fax it easily enough...

Thanks!

What version of Windows is on that machine? Do you have all the original Dell CD's? Did the machine come with a modem? You very likely have one already and either don't realize it or you need to configure a couple things.

Um, I'm running Windows 98.

I installed a dial-up modem when I got it, but now I use cable to access the internet.

I have no Dell CDs.

Where should I look for the program? I can probably figure out how it works once I get it set up.

Thanks!

If you have a Windows 98 CD, you can install the MS Fax that shipped with Win95. Basic barebones, but it works.

If you installed a retail boxed modem, a fax program may be on its installation CD.
