Dear Sir,

I have withdows 2000 server and internet coonnection through cable. I don't have modem for internet connection. Is there any way or any software that can send faxes by using DSL internet connection using SMTP ? I don't want to use the modem for that purpose.

Thanks

Fax is by nature a phoneline protocol.
So you DO need a conversion point in between.
I am not aware of any free ones but as long as it's US calls the cost is not that high.
(What the ASP does is originating the fax from a 'local' modem inside thephone district of the recipient, and doing the rest through IP).
A well known name is EZFAX, they advertise on Yahoo and many other places.

Have fun,

Download their software for creating smtp addresses from fax numbers.
Once you do. simply send an email to the address you have created and the fax will go through.
You will have to check their coverage maps though.
