I don't think I have any fax program. But here is what I did to test the faxing a document.

1. I opened a file using MS word program
2. I selected "File" and then "sent to" then "recipiant"
3. Now Word program is developing a cover sheet then I attached a file
4. I click "send"

This is all I did in order to faxing a file.

DO I NEED A FAX program to fax and receive using a modem.

Dell 8400 unit that I bought come with a modem.

Thanks,

Yes, you need a fax program to send and receive faxes.  Windows XP has one built in.  Click Start-> Control Panel->Printers and other hardware->Printers and Faxes.  Click on the fax icon and you can configure the fax software that came with Windows.  You can configure it to receive faxes.

Thank you.  The MS Fax program works well and is easy to use.
