Fax on Plusnet
Posted by Graham Daniels on November 16th, 2004


Hi,

Does anyone know if you can send faxes with Plusnet broadband? I know it's
possible to receive them with their Fax2email service. I used to have Home
Highway and used BT Speedway fax software to send faxes. Anyone know if this
will work with broadband? Am using XP.

No. You would need to retain an analogue fax modem or sign up to a service.
There is at least one free one ut there (someone will post the URL) if you
can put up with the circa half page advert on the outbound fax.

If you just want to send text:

but the email service doesn't like my emails via PlusNet - either
using Outlook/smtp or Snail^d^d^d^d^dWebmail. Claims it doesn't have
a message id. Can anyone else send them via PlusNet? It works when I
do it from work or via mail2web (

Their webform works however (just then no record ( ). No sending
to UK 'premium' lines (including 0870, so no using to keep fax2email
alive every 3 months). Presumably Demon (who provide the UK end of
the service) don't like contributing to someone's coffers ).

Get a Demon ad on the cover page.

There is a recent thread on the Plus Customer Forum giving a couple of
pay-for online fax services which would be more flexible - of the
order of £5/£10 setup and 5p per page.

Then watch as your PC gets infested with a rogue dialer and it starts
dialing international numbers and running up a huge phone bill.

If you want a better solution, why not use a linux-based fax solution, so
that the linux box is connected to the router and acts as a fax server. you
can even download a 30-day trial of a fax/print/share server from
www.net-inter-net.com
