I heard skype can call from pc to handphone. Not really free but very cheap if you want to have a long distance call.\nhttp://www.skype.com/

Yes, you can send faxes with your cable modem connection but it will require special software unless your ISP offers internet fax capability. \n\nhttp://www.cable-modem.net/gc/internet_questions.html#faxes\n\n\nhttp://home.j2.com/s/r/j2-premier-splash?VID=33675&CMP=KNC-33675JFAX&vcn=google&vcad=jfax&ef_id=1235:3:f7c2af82dd9a9be7bd569080d54a91cf_457948633:7QqoMkUJuzIAAA3PA-cAAAAA:20060615060327

Try efax.com.  There are other document management and imaging applications as well that will allow you to send and receive faxes through a LAN.

You can't, once it is sent it is done, just like a fax.

depends on whether you need to be on the internet at the same time.\n\nif you are using a dsl internet service, you don't need a second line. you can continue making voice calls and the odd fax data transfer on the same line without affecting your internet connection.\n\nif you're on dial up internet, then it might be an issue when you're expecting a fax and trying to be on the internet at the same time. besides, when you're on the internet you can't use the phone either, so it might make sense for you to get a separate phone line for your voice calls and fax transmissions.

nope you will have to manually dial out using your faxmodem because your fax machine haas to have an actual telephone number.

That is a modem card for a laptop computer that also has fax capability (with the correct software)

From Bob Rankin Yes, there are a few places online that allow you to send a free fax, no strings attached. You don't need a fax machine, you don't need fax software, you don't have to give anyone your credit card number. My favorite is FaxZero, which lets you send a fax to any fax machine in the United States (including Puerto Rico) or Canada for free. All you need is a computer on the Internet and a valid e-mail address. Faxzero is web-based, so you can access it with a PC, Mac or Linux based computer.\n\nHere's how it works... First visit FaxZero.com and fill out the fax form. Enter your e-mail address and carefully type the Confirmation Code. (This prevents malicious users and automated bots from abusing the system.) Then type the text of your fax (for a quick text-based fax) or attach a file. You can send plain text, PDF, Microsoft Word (DOC), or an Excel spreadsheet (XLS) file. Ready to send? Whack the Send Free Fax Now button!\n\nA confirmation message will then be sent to your e-mail address. Your fax won't be transmitted until you click the link in that message. You'll receive an e-mail confirming that the fax was either delivered, or that it failed for some reason.\n\nFree Internet Faxing... Really?Yes, it's really free. The service is supported by advertising on the cover page of the free faxes you send. That seems like a small "price" to pay for sending a free fax. You don't have to buy a fax machine, fax software, fax supplies, get a fax line, or pay long distance phone charges. And typically the cover page is mostly blank anyway. Why not fill it up with something useful? \n\nAnd you needn't be concerned about getting spammed or scammed if you use FaxZero. Here's the FaxZero privacy policy:\n\nWe hate junk e-mail and junk faxes, and will absolutely not send any unsolicited e-mail or faxes. Users will receive e-mail messages (such as confirmation messages) as part of the process of using the service. If you subscribe to the FaxZero mailing list, we will send occasional news about the service, which may include advertisments for our marketing partners. Your name, company name, e-mail address, and fax number will appear in the "Sender Information" area of the faxes that you send. FaxZero will not share your information, nor information about the people you send faxes to, with marketers or anyone else, unless compelled to do so by court order. \nCan I Send Unlimited Free Faxes?No, the free service provided by FaxZero is limited to 2 faxes per day, and there's a maximum of three pages per fax. If you need to send more than that, you can use the FaxZero Premium service. Sending a premium fax costs $1.79, and there's no ad or FaxZero logo on the cover page, so you may like that for business communications. The number of pages increases from 3 to 10, and there's no 2-fax-per-day limitation.

Assuming you have a phone line, then yes. We have a scanner/copier/printer/fax combo that I use all of the time to fax documents to others. It doesn't cost us a thing. You just need the right software.

If your office has a Direct out dial Phone line, hook up a modem to your computer and dial up to an online service.

If your running windows then windows has a fax program built in. Go to add and remove programs then to windows componets. Look under communication and choose microsoft fax. Install the app. Plug in your home phone line to the modem in you computer that says "line in". Then tell the person to fax the info to your home number. You will want to set up the fax program before hand by going to your start button - accessories - communication

For starters, make sure you're plugging your cable from your wall to the correct jack in your modem.  One usually has a phone icon - don't use that one for the wall connection.  Use that for an actual phone.\n\nIf your hear a dial tone from your speakers when you try to fax someone, then that's a good thing - your fax is trying to start up and dial.  If you don't hear a dial tone, again check your plugs.  It may even help to check the wall outlet as well, since that may be part of the problem.\n\nAs for dialing, you can usually go either way with dashes or no dashes.  Just be sure to use area codes where necessary.\n\nNow be warned - sometimes sending a fax over a cable modem won't work out.  I've had that told to me once, and it turned out that it did work in my case.  But then recently, I tried to fax and they didn't go through all the way.  I had to do some fancy trickery to get things right again, but it worked out in the end.\n\nBTW, the link below is from Microsoft's website.  It may help with some minor usage and troubleshooting.

The connection is immaterial if you still have a fax modem in your computer.  Connect a regualr phone line to the modem, load a decent fax program (like winfax) as the one in XP is poor, and fax away.  The other way is to use internet faxing at a cost of about $13.95 per month.

skype, rather than running through an actual phone like vonage and some other services do, this runs through a program on your computer.  I'm not sure if you can call outside phone lines, but I think you can for a relatively minimal charge.
