Can I send a fax from same phone line?

I have an internal modem. Can i send & receive fax through my phone line & not by using internet?

• i know there are software which can do so. where can i download them for free.?

• Answer:

  It would have to be a fax modem. Most of them come with free software. I send and receive faxes all the time using my internal modem. If you are using Windows XP, you probably have that capability now, without additional software. I can write a letter or create a document in Word, change my print driver to a fax driver, and tell it to print and it will open a fax window. I can even include pictures in the Word document. I usually forget to reset it and the next time I go to print something, it tries to fax it. But I just reset the default printer to my real printer and that does it.
