Re: Windows XP and Faxing

Faxing has always required an analog phone line with an analog modem that supports faxing.

I want to set up my computer for faxing with Windows XP but I am not sure
what, if anything, I need to connect to my computer to set this up. Do I
need a separate phone line that I have to connect to the back of the
computer; separate from my existing high speed modem? I have printed
instructions off the internet but I don't understand about the modem. Can
anyone help?
