I was just wondering if anyone experimented on getting a fax directly to a computer, instead of a simple print out directly from the line.

I got a fax close to the computer but i am guessing there is no interface to pick up the signal and send a digital version to my comp.

Anyone?

Right, I remember that. Now people use scanned attachments or word doc. and email.

There also used to be websites that would do it for you, normally for a small fee

upload the docs and the number and they fax it away.

My printer is also a fax and I can send directly from any document on my computer. I tried it out once and got a notice that the receiving fax was only in B&W so my document was grayscaled.

don't know about receiving and having it routed to the computer - I would imagine it's possible.

sending is not the issue.

receiving it is .

maybe what i am looking for is some kind of interface between computer and telephone line.

When call comes in, my computer can make a telephone sound, and i got a device connected to the computer to "talk with"

When a fax comes in, my computer stores the fax into a digital file.

Can double as an answering machine maybe?

^ read the ^^ link it suggests various ways of receiving faxes.

Some cost a bit some are free.

I'm registered at efax.com, although I haven't really needed to use it yet.
Always on the look out for a cheap printer/scanner.
