Windows Faxing

[HackinCowboy]

Is there anyway to fax from within Windows for free? I'd rather not buy a third party program. Are there any shareware/freeware that I can just download? Or is there a feature that I can add within Windows ME that will allow me to do it?

Hi HackinCowboy,

I recently looked around on this issue, and went for an older LanSource program.

It is much more than I really needed, but it does everything I want, and works very reliably for me.

I believe that it is no longer supported or developed, but given that it already has way more than I need (basically - send and receive faxes), I don't really care about that, and few free programs give good support anyway.

There are probably other mirrors that have the file and will be closer to you (and faster), but even if you download with a dial-up connection overnight with a decent FTP client, you shouldn't have any problems getting that single installation file.

See what you think, and post back with any comments - I am only a recent user myself so I may have missed something that is important!

Hope that helps,

David.
