You can't fax direct with broadband, you need dialup.


To fax using broadband, you need to sign up to a fax gateway on the net.

Might just buy a normal fax!

Just buy an ebuyer modem, cheap as **** 3-4 pounds IIRC. Then link to phone splitter. You then just type in a fax number and pay the call charge, no sign up to ISP or ****.
