Re: faxing from my mac

2011-03-16 Thread Severin Crisp


I have an external Apple USB modem for this purpose.  Though they are  
not listed by Apple they are still available.  I got mine from T4 in  
Albany.  I also have a ZOOM USB external modem, surplus to  
requirements which is similar.  Contact me offline if you are  
interested, you can have it for the cost of the postage.

2011-03-16 Thread McCallum Malcolm
I went into the Mac store in the centre of town and was bewailing the  
fact that  my MBP did not have a phone plug ,so I could not use my MBP  
in Quinninup and the techie gave me a little USB dongle  which works  
very well. I therefore cannot tell you how much it costs but they  
certainly make them. :-)

Hi Yvonne,

The MBP does not have a modem so faxing from it is a not possible.
Apple used to sell an external usb modem but I haven't seen that in  
a long time.


I have used an online faxing service (eFax) to send and receive via  
email.
