Look on the front of the modem, or the box it came in. If it says "Fax modem" it will send faxes with the right software. Otherwise it can't as the control tones and protocols are quite different. And even if it is the right modem, the FAX software is quite different from the usual communications or internet software. from Greg Mayman, in Adelaide, South Australia "Queen City of the South" 34:55S 138:36E http://homepages.picknowl.com.au/greg_mayman/default.htm -- Arachne V1.71;UE01, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
