How to Fax without a Landline???

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware,alt.computer,microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Since everyone in the family has cell phones with voice mail, I am playing
with the idea of getting rid of the landline. One thing that is holding me
back is how to fax. I am a little reluctant to use online services as most
the time I am sending personal information.

Is there a way I could use my cell phone (LG VX4500) with either my printer
(HP psc 2210 all-in-one) or connect it to the modem of my computer (Gateway
500XL)?

Well, there is fax to email stuff out there(fax wave, etc.), so maybe
the reverse is there too.

Worse case--scan the document in and email it. Unless there is a lot of
faxing, scanning may work for you.

My fax wave to email works super and for almost nothing!

The broadband carrier I (could) use tells me no faxes for their voip!
They are a cable company and I know they are here to help....

Look at efax.com

They let you originate faxes on your internet-connected PC.

Don't blame me. I voted for Gore.

You can setup your own IP based fax server but it will probably cost
more money than the $25 a month that you would pay for a dedicated fax
line.
