There are also some e-mail-provider that provide a telephone number under which you can receive faxes. Normally you can also send faxes, but only simple text. When a fax arrives you get a mail with a tiff-photo. Two of my six e-mail-providers have this feature. Unforunatly both are German and if I am right require you to live in Germany, Austria or Switzerland to use their service. Their URLs are www.arcor.de and www.web.de for those who speak German.No. The telephone network was made to carry voice and has later been mangled to also carry data and fax. Broadband is strictly data networking only. Think about it - ever dialled someone's broadband router on your fax machine...? If you want to send/receive faxes you'll need one of those 56k modem thingies and a phone(!) line, not an adsl line.
