Looking for servcie to send FAX from an XP system over an Internet commection

[Al Dykes]

Does anyone know of some software, and a related service to originate
a fax message from an XP system that has an internet connection, but
no analog dialup ?

I really want one that looks like a printer spooler to my system and
applications. I looked at efax and they seem to do everything else
but this.

No such animal. A modem can be had for $19 dollars tho.

Are you saying that there is no way that you can plug a phone line from a wall outlet to
your modem, and use the native Windows XP FAX Service? Or, if you already have a line
plugged in for a dialup internet connection, just don't be online when you use the Windows
FAX Service to send a FAX. To install the native Windows XP FAX Service: Control
Panel/Add or Remove Programs, click the big button on the left to Add/Remove Windows
Components, click to put a checkmark in the box to the left of FAX Services, click the
NEXT button, and follow the rest of the wizard.

Try getting an RJ jack here:

With a laptop by the pool, or in Starbucks

In a location that only has cheap VOIP (i.e. Vonage) voice
service, which is still hostile to FAX and analog modems.

In an office that has gone all-cordless, or has a digital PBX
system that is hotile to FAX modems.

In a small office where the cost of provisioning a line
for every desk would cost more than a service like Efax.

Efax could cover these issues, but my preference for a FAX interface
that acts like a printer in my ControlPanel/Printers, I find that
being able print fron within the application much easier than a
seperate web FAX interface, requiring a seperate step.

The question referred to someone with an Internet connection, but no
analog dialup. You can't send a fax as such on an Internet connection -
the fax system is an analog modem one
