Hi,

I would like to do away with my arcane fax machine. Ideally I'd like to be able to send and receive faxes by email yet keep my existing fax number (it's on all the stationery). Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks in advance

yep, scan and e-mail is the way to go, saves the cost of the phone call to send a fax as wee eddie points out. If of course it is a word/excel doc or invoice it can be e-mailed direct from office

that your Scanner has been supplied with.

It may be able to convert the File to a PDF, before sending, which is probably the optimum option

If you need to receive faxes as well then you will need a fax program (built into XP) and a fax modem on your computer - built in to some computers but not all, an external fax/voice modem is cheap at about £20.

I need to send the occasional Fax, and I use a ZOOM USB fax module( size approx 4"x3"x 1")

One end goes into your USB port and the other to your telephone line, you keep the same number, a record of all faxes sent /recieved and all you pay for (Running costs ) is the ost of the call.
