HELP!!!

Hi all,
I'm new here and am posting to get some info from the "pros"! We just
opened a new business and had DSL installed. I'm looking to add a
multi-function printer/copier/scanner/fax. I have a few questions though
about the fax side.
First of all, can I fax if I'm using DSL or does it have to be dialup using
a faxmodem?
Second, is there any way to fax using just the computer? Software for
example? My MS Office fax wizard utility won't work (tried it).
Third, would it just be better to get a used fax machine since I won't be
using it a lot?
Thanks for any help. I really love the newsgroups as the info I get is
usually better than anything I find elsewhere. Please email me at
joyfulnoise@iowatelecom.net
as I'm not sure I'll check back here too often.

You definitely can fax if your using dsl but not through the dsl connection,
you will need a modem or modem card. That should answer question #2. You
don't need a used fax machine as the multi-function printer will take care
of that, just plug in a phone line.
