Does anyone know of a Fax programme that can be used in conjunction
with BT Broadband.

I used to have Home Highway and could use Speedway fax but it does not
appear to work with Broadband.

Thanks in advance

Is this for *sending* or *receiving* faxes - because you will probably need
two different solutions?

Not sure what you mean by "in conjunction with">

To send and receive faxes the first thing you need is a phoen line
with a modem connected to it. You can use the same phone line as your
ADSL link runs on but you'll need a fax modem.

Most fax modems come with some fax software,


Reading between the lines, if this is the FAQ about using the ADSL
modem as a fax modem, forget it, radically different technology.

Have you tried www.j2.com

Whilst it is true that you can't send and receive faxes *directly* with an
ADSL modem, you *can* send and receive faxes via ADSL by using email-to-fax
and fax-to-email services. I imagine that's what the OP was getting at.

For example, PlusNet issue their customers (on request) with an 0870 number
for fax use. Any faxes sent to that number are converted to emails, which
are sent to a nominated email address - with the fax itself appearing as an
attachment in .TIF format.

Similarly, by sending a suitably structured email to services such as
remote.printer@{fax#}.iddd.tpc.int you can cause a fax to be sent to any
recipient whose fax number is contained in the {fax#} part of the above
email address.

and there was me thinking the Speedway might be an ISDN Terminal Adaptor, so
it may be able to make a fax call on ISDN for the PC user, who transmits the
fax into the serial port from suitable software... take away the ISDN links
(if you replace Highway with a standard line for ADSL) and it falls apart as
a means of sending faxes. BICBW :-) Peter M.

modem, it uses Fax Tools from www.bvrp.com which works fine for both
incoming and outgoing faxes.

Thanks for the responses

I just want to be able to send faxes.

I have a single phone line coming into the house which is connected to
both my computer (Broadband) and my phone.

The speedway fax program ran through the Speedway modem and used the
ISDN Home Highway line to send the faxes.

Now my ISDN line has gone I cannot use the Speedway program.

I currently have a program running that allows me to dial people from
my computer who I can then talk to by picking the phone up (Smart
Address). I wondered if there was a similar program available that
would allow me to send faxes in the same way

Sorry if the above is confusing but I am no techie and am confused
myself.

If you are using your computer to dial voice calls, you must have an
ordinary analog modem installed in it. I would be very surprised if this
isn't a fax/modem which can also send faxes. There is probably a fax
facility within your email client - which can make use of this modem.

What program do you use for sending emails? If it is Outlook or Outlook
Express, bring up the Help pages and look for Fax. This will tell you how to
set up the fax option.

Thanks for responding

I am using Outlook Express 6.

i did a search on fax in the help file and apart from telling me I
could put fax numbers in the address book and the word fax showing up
when fax numbers were given in the file, I could find nothing about
setting up a fax option.

All true, but I didn't want to complicate my response even more until
maybe the poster had a chance to clarify what his question meant! :-)

Sorry, seems like you need full-blown Outlook rather than OE to be able to
send faxes. FWIW, Outlook (not Express) Help says:
"About sending a fax using Outlook
Sending a fax with Microsoft Outlook is as easy as sending an e-mail
message. To send a fax, click the File menu, point to New, and then click
New Fax Message. Outlook installs the fax feature the first time you use it.
You can also send almost any document from any program as a fax, and you can
easily include both a cover page and any additional files you want."

So you'll need an alternative, like WinFax Lite or similar. Do you have a CD
which came with your analog modem? If so, have a look to see what goodies
are on it. There's probably a fax program!

Most fax programs I have seen install a dummy printer driver. When you
"print" to this device, a dialogue opens up, asking you for the fax number.
It then dials that number and sends the document as a fax.

If you're using Windows XP then the ability to send faxes comes as part of
the OS. Have a look under All Programs > Accessories > Communications > Fax.

If it's not there then you need to go to Control Panel > Add or Remove
Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components.

If you want to set up a shortcut to the Fax Console it's at
\WINDOWS\system32\Fxsclnt.exe

If you're not using XP there's loads of 3rd party fax software out there.

I am using Windows 98.

Winfax is not loaded onto my computer and I am currently trying to
find my CD-Rom to put it on.

Winfax is a 'third party' (commercial) application, not Microsoft's, so
isn't on Win9x CDs.

There is a fax programme, though: probably under 'Tools, Oldwin', but
simplest to 'Find' fax on the CDrom.

You'll see a couple of exes, and a couple of .txt files that explain
installation/use: you presumably don't want the '/us' pair.

I've never even tried it: every modem I've had has come with
fax-programmes as part of comprehensive 'Communications software', more
or less indistinguishable in functions provided - multi-user fax, data,
and voicemail.

MS's fax doesn't seem to be like that, but sending faxes is evidently
similar: just 'print' your stuff to a pseudo-printer that also handles
dialling, etc.

There are also plenty of freeware fax-programmes: Googling for, and
downloading, one or two might be simpler/more rewarding ...
