I have 2 ISPs - Comcast and WorldNet. Does either of them offer a FAX
capability as part of their standard monthly fee? Or is there another
way that I can send and receive FAX pages using my cable modem? Or
dialing up with the built-in modem in my Sony Vaio laptop? Thanks in
advance for your help.

You can't fax via Comcast cable modem unless you use a web-based service.

The modem in your laptop is probably a fax/modem. THAT you can use for
faxing. You just need the software, however you didn't state your OS.


Windows XP - Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs,
Add Windows Component, and check the box, "Fax Services", click next, and
follow the prompts.


Windows 98 - If you want to use Microsoft Fax, you'll need
to install it from the Windows 98 installation CD.

Insert the CD in your CD-ROM drive, click "Browse This CD",
and navigate to the Tools/OldWin95/Message/Us folder.
Run "awfax.exe" to install Microsoft Fax. (Note: According
to Microsoft, this utility "requires a Full MAPI Client in order to
function, such as: Microsoft Exchange, Windows Messaging,
Microsoft Exchange Server Client or Outlook [the full version, not
Express].")

Windows Messaging is also available on the Windows 98
installation CD, too. To install it, navigate to Tools/OldWin95/Message/Us
folder, and run wmw.exe. (Note: Read the wmw-fax.txt, in the same folder,
for more detailed information on Microsoft Fax and Windows Messaging.)

After you install it, here's how to use it.

What Unk said, and with respect to your laptop, WinFaxPro is a killer fax
application -- check it out if you go with the laptop/dialup.

Thanks, Unk. My laptop came with XP Home installed. I'll try what
you suggested, after confirming that it is indeed a FAX modem in the
computer. The suggestion to consider WinFax Pro is good, but free is
better, if it works.

Are there any decent freeware or shareware fax programs for Windows 98/ME?
Can MS Fax be used on these systems?
