There are TONS of services that will do this for you.Yes of course. I was wondering if there was a particular favorite of anyone's around here. I'm fully aware of google's abilities.

Seriously, though, is there any software that can do this? I always prefer software to online apps because with software you can keep the settings locally, logs (if any), etc. Faxzero sounds interesting, but it has only 3 pages max for free. I'm surprised google doesn't have something called Google Fax!
If you have a cell phone with [free] long-distance, you can do what I do when I need to send a fax. I simply forward my cell phone to the fax number and then fax to my cell phone number (which is a local call but forwarded on to the fax number). It works a treat for me on the rare occasion I need to send a fax since I don't keep long-distance on my house's landline.How do you do that from your computer? This sounds neat, but I don't quite get where it converts from a file to a fax? Is this in your phone or do you use something to convert it to a fax before you forward it to the phone? If it is the latter, what do you use to convert it?
Oh.Ah! No, I wish. I haven't worked on that for several months, since changing jobs. But I just got a wacom, so I plan to get back into it soon.
And here I was hoping it was somehow related to your fantasy fiction project.
Ah. I took the OP though to mean a way to convert files to fax without using the modem or connecting telephone lines. That was what I thought you were doing and I was curious how that was accomplished. Thanks for the clarification.No, steel...YOU are correct. I'm trying to send files on the computer to a fax with NO modem or telephone lines. Just the internet connection.
They also offer a tool for download, that enables the box to send and receive fax.
You can email to a fax machine using the internet infrastructure called tpc.intDoh! Now you tell me! i went to Kinko's yesterday to fax 6 pages...it cost $9!! What a rip.
Just go to http://www.tpc.int and all will be explained.
There are volunteer fax servers set up all over the world (a list of area codes is provided) and you just email your content to a specially formatted email address (not too tricky) or use the provided client and your email will be forwarded to the fax server via internet and faxed locally.
This project has been online and functioning for years.
Ain't the net magic??

Sorry, I should have clarified that I do this from a printer/scanner/fax combo (Canon Pixma MP830). Though, I can't see why it couldn't be done from a modem in a computer along with some fax software.

Thre may be a middle ground here. Many cellphones have to option to connect them to a computer via USB. Part of the driver that is installed (assuming you can find it) is for using the cellphone as a modem ... Add the Windows fax service and you're there.Another interesting one! Where were you guys two days ago??
Just a thought.
Hello Tomos,If there is something that you know of specifically, please let us know.
I am sorry to hear that the PC-fax solution only works with AVM hardware.
There are (very few) other fax over IP solutions out there. If it is something you need frequently, it may be worth spending some time with Google.
