Bill
I misunderstood your original post.. all in one scanner/printer/copier
devices are often capable of faxing and your statement "I have an internal
modem as the "fax device" via a scanner" suggested that you had that kind of
scanner..
If you have ONLY a DSL connection, you can use a service like eFax..
http://www.efax.com
If you connect to the net via an external DSL device, and have an old
analogue modem fitted from the time that you used a dialup connection, you
still have the option of using eFax, OR you can set up XP Fax..

If your DSL connection was installed by the ISP, they may have 'disabled'
the analogue modem, in which case, you pay a visit to your Network
Connections and re-enable it.. the link above will then take you through the
steps to setup and use XP Fax..
As the other reply stated, you will need filters on the line, but your ISP
should have supplied these..
I hope that I have understood the situation better this time.. if you do not
agree, then please post again.. if the info that I have provided works for
you, please reply and tell me.. without feedback, it is inpossible to
determine whether help given is of any value or use..
Good luck..
