I have a very ancient fax machine which is about to give up the ghost. I don`t use it enough to justify a new one. If I want to send the occasional fax from my laptop do I need to buy special software ? I use XP :hearty

You can use MS Word to send direct, bit messy though.

This is good software though http://www.01com.com/products_i2000_main.asp?navid=i2000 Buy it through my Amazon link :D

It's also a certainty that the CD that came supplied with your modem driver has some kind of fax software you can install.

Failing that, if you're using XP, you'll find that it has fax capabilities built-in. It should be installed in Start, All Programs, Communications, Fax and instructions on using it are here http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306657&sd=tech

If it's not installed, go to Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs, click the button for Windows Components and chose Fax Services. You'll have to insert your Windows XP disc when prompted.
