How could one send email as fax using the same line that provides my internet connection?

Hi

How could I fax a document that I have prepared on my MS Word or an e-mail that I received?

 

Is it possible to send it as a fax utilising my own phone line that is connected to my computer to provide the broadband connection.

 

I ask this because when I just attempted to send a word document it takes me to another organisation to send it as fax, it appears that I have to pay a charge for this service?

I would have thought, the charge would normally be borne by my telephone service provider?

I do not wish to sign with a fax service provider[I may fax one to two fax/year]

 

Can anybody help me the steps?

I have MS Office 2007 Enterprise installed on my computer.

There MAY be some on-line fax services (and obviously you found one) but they will charge for their services.  There is no way to fax using the fax program on your PC as it will only work with your dial-up modem over an analog (voice) dial up telephone line.

FYI--dsl broadband does not use the voice-telephone part of your telephone line. That's why you can talk on the phone while connected to the Internet and that's why you don't use dialup any more. You need a plain old telephone modem in your computer--no relation to your dsl modem--and vista business or vista ultimate to send a fax over your telephone line. Vista Home Premium doesn't have the fax program like Win XP does.

Vista Home Premium DOES NOT include a fax program, like Windows XP did.  Only the Vista Ultimate has a built in fax program.  You will have to buy and install a Vista compatible fax program, if you have the need to send and receive faxes.
