receiving faxes with computer off via multifunction?

[Richy]

I'm considering getting a multifunction printer with fax capability. I
like the Canon Pixma MP780. What I want is to be able to receive faxes
with my computer turned off and have the faxes stored in memory so I
can print or view them later. And I don't want the machine making any
beeping noises or anything when the faxes come in. Does anyone know if
this machine will do that?

Go to the store like BestBuy or Circuit City where you are planning
to purchase it and get them to show you the features. Also a brochure
of what it can or cannot do. You can check the Canon website but their
info is very limited, but you can call/contact their tech support for answers.
One thing to remember is, Fax can be used only with dial-up, not with
DSL or Cable. Some ISPs have filters you can install. Most stand-alone
fax machines can be used without the PC being turned on.
