fax numbers

[Guest]

i am trying to set up a fax operation. How do I get the fax numbers? Do I
have to do something to my address book?

A FAX number is just a regular phone line that has a FAX
machine (or FAX modem) connected. To get a FAX number you
have to be giving that number by the person or company that
has the machine. If you put a phone number in the FAX field
in the addressbook, and then use that address in the FAX,
the system will input the number.

Thanks for the response. I know about fax numbers in the normal sense but I
thought when you are using a computer fax that you would just use the e mail
address of the party you are sending a fax to.

FAX is just a phone service to send data. Email is part of
the Internet.

Joe,
If you are on anything other than a phone line you will need a phone modem
to send FAXes. Myself, I'm on DSL modem router for Internet Service but also
have a phone line FAX modem for FAXing. (Same wire as the DSL service but
use the dial tone that's on the line).

That's a pay to fax service similar to the Letter Box stores.

You are confusing your technologies. Faxes MUST go out over a Plain
Old Telephone Service (POTS) line. You can't send a fax over the
internet.

There are services that provide a fax gateway - you can email them
either the text of your fax, or include a file that has the stuff you
want faxed - but they take your text/file, then dump it to a fax/modem
and send it to the recipient over - are you ready - POTS.

Why pay the middleman? Either install a fax/modem in your computer
(they aren't real expensive) or buy a fax machine.
