    How to FAX using DSL??

    does anyone know how to fax using my internet + Win XP??

    I've tried the XP fax thing but it says i need a fax printer of some kind.

    I need to send 2 pics to paypal to confirm proof of postage and that is it. Annying to say the least.

    Anyone know?? Tried Scanfax! to no avail. Keeps saying no port or something even though the config screen says i do.

    Any other ideas?

    the windows xp fax client will work fine if you have a 56k (well, 14.4k) modem installed

    windows handles haxing by printing to a virtual printer. if you run the new printer wizard, it should allow you to add a fax printer device.
