    Hey
    Before i do a google on this subject i'd like a little feedback from someone who has used fax software. Paypal have closed my account for no apparent reason and want me to fax i'd details. I dont have a fax machine as such and don't want to run around looking for one. I do have an Epson printer, scanner photocopy set up and would like to know if with the proper software can i set this up to send and receive faxes? If this question is a little lame and outdated im sorry...

    Just one thing on this though is that you do know that faxing can only be done via a dialup phone line so make sure you have a dialup modem to do so .

    True. Most multi-functional devices [MFDs/all-in-one jobs] allow you to send faxes using its inbuilt modem. But I don't think the OP has such a device.

    There are web-based services that allow you to send and receive fax (efax.com for example), but I don't know of any that are free.
