I've been waiting to see if someone else was going to answer you, and at
the same time checking out various download sites but haven't found a
*free* fax software, there are plenty of "free to try" ones tho, e.g. at
www.download.com (Business - Applications). In the "olden days" when I
still had a dial-up connection, I had a fax program I liked very much
called BitWare (by Cheyenne Communications Inc.). I still have the two
installation discs, but am not sure if the program would work with
Windows versions of today and no dial-up modem.

Also, another thing that came to mind is, how are you going to dial the
recipient's fax number on a DSL connection? Or do you have access to a
site that forwards faxes? I'm not sure if a program like Skype and its
SkypeOut-feature could handle the dialing thing. Haven't checked it out
that well yet. Skype's available at www.skype.com.

Apparently they don't want ppl to email them the resumes for fear of
viruses. A Word document saved in .rtf format shouldn't contain any
macro-viruses.

Sorry I couldn't help much.

Without a fax modem any free fax software isn't going to help you. You
can either go by a cheap fax modem which will include fax software for
about $20 or less, or sign up with one of the email to fax gateways like
www.send2fax.com. But with the sign up and usage fees at send2fax it
would be cheaper to just buy a fax modem. One other advantage however to
send2fax is that you do not tie up your phone with fax transmissions but
have faxes send to the phone number they assign to you. The incoming
faxes are then delivered to you via email.

There are internet fax services that for a fee will fax things you
send via e-mail or the web.  A Google search on internet fax will turn
up companies such as efax.com and dataoncall.com.  I haven't ever used
the services, so can't make any recommendations.  Prices quoted were
on the order of 12 cents a page.  If your computer does have a built
in modem you can try the fax software that Microsoft provides with
Windows.  DSL modems don't speak fax, unfortunately.

Jill, gotcha covered on the Fax software.  I'll try to get it in the mail
Monday or Tues.  I have your address.

Are you sure you don'tr already HAVE one on your computer?
 All of my computers with internet capabilities (three, and
counting) have come with some sort of fax-software already
in place.  With one of them, I had to click on the program
(and write my fax in Word, then send it as an attachment, if
I wanted to have a copy).  The one I have now, all I need do
is write it in Word, click on "file" in the upper left
corner of the Word screen, click on "Print", then scroll to
"fax" in the window that displays my printer name by
default.  (If you merely click on the "print" icon, it will
choose the default - usually your printer - but if you
access "print" through the menu at the top of the screen, it
allows you to choose.)
