I am tired of buying ink for my fax machine, (which prints like crud anyway) and since I only need to send or recieve faxes maybe 2 or 3 times a month, I have thought about buying a program like WinFax, where I could just print out the faxes on my printer. I have found them on ebay, brand new, for less than a new ink cartridge for my fax machine. (Which also takes up a ton of space.)

My question is this, all the info I read about these PROGRAMS they are geared towards small businesses, and are full of info on using cell phones and multi users. Not my thing. What I need is something that will work on one phone LINE and not interfere with my DSL. Would that do it?

I have an HP pavilion laptop, with Win XP HOME edition, am using a broadband DSL connection that I connect to over a home wireless network. I also have available a voice modem on my laptop. All my phone jacks (minus the DSL connection) have the DSL filters on them.

Is there anything special I would need to do, or a special program I would need to buy?

Thanks!I'm not familiar with the various fax software programs that are available. But, here's one that looks interesting. It's called MightyFax. They have a helpful diagram on their WEBSITE: Diagram showing a typical DSL modem and faxmodem hookup.

As you can see, you would connect a regular telephone line to your dialup modem to receive faxes, and it would be filtered, the same as your regular telephone lines.
