No, I want you to go to google and type in PPC fax... you'll see in there a list of programs (about three or four in all) that were designed to send a fax transmittion over your phone line directly to a normal fax machine...


However, it is my understanding that most of these programs stopped working as of WM2003. Apparently there was some basic change in the OS that made the programs stop working and no one has figured out how to bypass the issue. You'll compatibility on them terminate at WM2002.


If you want a specific program then you can look to MfaxCE. The company that makes it has a version number up to 1.87a but won't give it to anyone but developers and distributors. The newest version I could find for download... ANYWHERE was 1.6



Whether the 1.87a version works with WM5 or WM6 is something I don't know.


In short all I'm saying is that this DID work at some point but has not in a long while for some reason. You're saying that you need a fax modem for this to work and I counter that if that is true then all the old phones must have had fax modems built into them... which is unlikely.

james_7_07,
Honestly bro I'd not waste any more time on this... lots of people have been trying to get this feature and we've been out of luck for ages.

If you're really interested you can try here:

Best of luck and let us know if you get it working... we'll crown you king for a day at the very least.
