It is a fairly common opinion that while sending faxes FROM your
computer with actual "fax software" (of which there are
hundreds) works beautifully, receiving them can be a real pain
in the ass.

Google.

This one is way too easy. Just for starters, try
http://www.electrasoft.com/threefax.htm

then do a google search on pc fax software.

X-HTTP-UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1;

tells me you are using XP. XP (Pro at least) has a built-in program to
send and receive faxes. You can configure it in control panel.
You did _not_ tell about which modem you have got - a modem is the
prerequisite for sending and receiving faxes over a POT line.

Thanks. I have Conevant SoftK56 Data Fax Modem. I have Win XP Home
Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2. Does it has built in fax software?


BTW, I have a Brother MFC 3100 Fax, Print 5 in 1 machine, but its
printer broke down 5 times in 3 years. I can still fax out. It cannot
receive fax.

I can't remember the last time I had to send a fax, so I was
just commenting.
