I want to be able to use fax facilities with Windows 7, either using Windows Faz/Scan application or another such as VentaFax. However the problem I have is how to connect to the phone line. I assume I will need either in internal or external modem. I would prefer an internal PCI Modem but I can't seem to find any that are compatible with Windows 7.
Since Windows 7 has a Fax application what is the usual configuration to exploit it?
This PCI Modem: Newegg.com - Rosewill RNX-56CX Conexant 56Kbps PCI Bus (Plug & Play) Internal V.92 PCI Date/Fax/TAM modem with Speaker- WINDOWS VISTA READY, has Windows 7 32 and 64-bit drivers. This PCI Express Modem also has Windows 7 32 and 64-bit drivers: Newegg.com - U.S. Robotics USR5638 56Kbps PCI Express V.92 Faxmodem, although apparently it may have issues with the built-in Windows Fax Software.
But generally, a modem is the way to go. There are also efax setups where you can have a phone number that you use to send faxes via internet. I'm not too familiar with it but this site: eFax - Internet Fax to Email Services, should have more details on it.
MAny thanks, not only for the data but also for the rapid response, in most forums you wait days for someone to get back
