Send/Recieve Fax on my computer? 10 points for informative answer!?

• Hello Experts, What I have: 1) Win XP 2) Brother MFC-490CW printer-fax-scanner. What do I need: 1) I need to send and receive faxes without printing and scanning them. Example: Say I have an email and I want to send it by fax to some office, I know the fax number there. What do I need: An application that will connect to my Brother fax and receive faxes that sent to me and send faxes to other people using my fax number. What do I use now and doesn't work well: PaperPort that was given with the CC3 suite. I use PC-Fax receive mode. PaperPort doesn't connect to fax and don't collect the faxes. Checked the settings and IP and everything configured like it should be. Please help me and tell me what program does it best, low priority to online, I need a software. Thanks a lot in advance.

  If your ancient xp has a built in fax/modem you could just use that. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306550
