Several computers ago, I was able to send files as faxes, not to other computers, but to actual fax machines. I don't recall what software I had that let me do that. The fax option just showed up as another system printer that would dial the number and transmit the image as a fax.

I now have internet and VOIP telephone service through a cable modem on a new computer. Can I use my computer to send faxes to fax machines? What special software and/or hardware do I need? I don't need to receive faxes, just send one every once in a while.

Probably be easier to just find someone who'll let me use their fax machine, or e-mail the file to someone with a fax machine...
