There are two ways to do this -- one is the modem acts as a fax machine, it dials up the recipient and sends a fax image. So you're making a normal phone call and would be charged for that. However, a computer-generated fax should go through a bit faster, and will be perfectly clean. I think this is how MacComCenter works. The other way is to do it is via Internet. There is a free network, TPC, <http://www.tpc.int/tpc_home.html>, which covers much, though not all the world, that converts incoming emails into a fax to your recipient number (in the same way as above). Pretty simple to use, you put the phone mumber in the email address. There are pay systems that do this, some of which offer the very useful function of an incoming fax mailbox that you can access via web or email. The free ones have gone offline, those left seem to charge about $10-12 month, which might be reasonable if you use them heavily. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
