IS it possible, and if it is, how do you fax directly from a PC running Windows 2000 over a DSL connection? How do you configure winfax from a modem connection to DSL?
Thanks --Carole

You cannot FAX directly over a DSL connection...

Upgrading to DSL may add a DSL modem of some kind, but you'll still need an analog line and a regular modem to fax using WinFax. This holds true whether or not you get ADSL over your phone line or SDSL on another line.

You may also try the internet solution, and subscribe to a sevice like jfax.com or efax.com which provides you your own dedicated fax number, and you may send faxes using a utility, and receive fax messages in your mail inbox.

There are also "Fax from the Desktop" solutions like RightFax, Zetafax, etc...

Good luck!

You need to use the modem line... you cannot use the network line to use fax software.

The fax software always requires a telephone number; not an ip address.
