Can I fax using broadband connection

[Sean]

Hello

When I set up my fax software on Windows Home XP, it
only finds the dial-up modem on my computer - which I do
not use as I have a broadband connection. And there is
nothing else in the drop down box to choose from - my
broadband connection is not there as a choice.

Can I only send faxes using dial-up services or is it
possible to send them using broadband

Regards & thanks

Many users seem not to realize that faxing is a function that can only use
analog phone lines and analog fax modems. Accordingly, no fax software will
function with cable modems or DSL lines. With some DSL connections you can
obtain a DSL line filter suitable for connecting a standard analog voice
line to the DSL line and can then connect an analog fax modem to that line.
