adsl and fax?

[Paul]

I have an adsl broadband modem linked to my pc. It appears that I cannot use my pc for sending or receiving faxes, is this the case? I do not have a `normal` modem fitted to my m/c. Will the installation of one of these ( as well as my adsl ) fax modems en
able me to use the fax function?

[Thomas Ferguson]

To fax over an ADSL modem, one sends the fax to an Internet fax service. The
service then sends the fax to the recipient(s) for a fee.

Yes, you can install a fax/modem, connect it to a telephone line and send
faxes either through XP's fax client or one of other available
clients.Before purchasing such a fax/modem, do check to be sure it is XP
compatible.
