DSL can't call the other fax machine so that stops this idea cold.
You'll have to install/use a faxmodem, OR look into a fax service that (surprise) will use their faxmodems to deliver it.
Frankly, I use fax so rarely that when I need it, I go to a service I use. It's less work for me. And if I count time I would spend installing the faxmodem/software, I win on the time issue too.
Email has eroded the need for fax.

When I was on dial-up, I could send a FAX thru my modem.
I reformatted my harddrive, reinstalled Win XP home, and did not reinstall old modem software.
I am now on SBC/DSL.
My question... can I send a FAX using DSL, and if so, what kind of software should I use?
Or should I connect my old dial-up modem and install software for it?
Thanks
Ben
