Hello -
I thought under WIN95 & 98 there was a fax option to send from the computer. I have not been able to find this option on a client's computer. We want to be able to fax from Quickbooks. Does anyone have any suggestions on a fax service that would be compatible with doing this. Thanks.

Hi,
Assuming that you have a modem connected to your computer and the telephone network, then a product like Winfax, from Symantec, will do the job. Fax programs look like a printer to the application.
Another option is to subscribe to a fax service, such as available from maxemail at http://www.maxemail.com/.

Windows 98 Installation Instructions
Microsoft Fax was not part of the standard Windows 98 installation, but was included on the Windows 98 CD-ROM.
Insert the Windows 98 Installation CD.
Start Windows Explorer and browse to the appropriate folder on the CD:
Tools\Oldwin95\Message\Us (for United States customers)
Tools\Oldwin95\Message\Intl (for International customers)
Locate the file called Wms-fax.txt and open it. This file contains detailed instructions about installing Microsoft Fax on Windows 98 systems.
More information about Microsoft Fax in Windows 98 can be found at Microsoft's support website at http://support.microsoft.com.

How to SETUP Microsoft Faxing in Win98...
First, a brief recap...
Go through the installation of wms.exe on the Win98 CD. When you finish the
setup routine for WMS (Windows Messaging) you should have an Inbox icon on
your desktop. I didn't. So I rebooted and it showed up. Personally, I'd
reboot anyway after this first step.
Next click on awfax.exe on the CD and go through the MS Fax setup routine.
It will want you to restart your computer at the end. Go ahead and do that.
The part you have been waiting for...
Now click on the Inbox icon on your desktop. A setup wizard will come up and
lead you through the setup process. (You don't do anything with the Mail or
the Microsoft Post Office control panel devices if you only want the fax
capability - which keeps you from having to face embarrassing questions like
"Where's the Post Office?" If you want the e-mail capability I don't know
what you need to do -- I use Outlook Express.)
The first thing that comes up after you click the Inbox icon is a box that
asks you which Windows Messaging features you want. There were two:
Microsoft Fax and Microsoft Mail. Uncheck the Microsoft Mail one and go to
the next section of the wizard. The wizard will ask you which modem to use,
where to put your address book, one other thing (I forgot what -- it's
been more than 10 minutes since I did this :-), and if you want to setup
your system to automatically receive faxes. Just keep hitting OK or Next
and let the wizard do its thing. When the wizard is finished you're done!
Now to use the fax stuff you click on the Inbox icon and a window will open
up. This is your basic control center for Windows Mailing and Faxing. To compose a new
fax go to Compose on the menu bar and select New Fax... A Compose New Fax
wizard will walk you through getting your fax ready to send
