How can I send a fax with Windows 7 connected on DSL?
I have a computer with Windows 7.
It is connected to the Internet via a router and DSL.
What I have found on the Internet regarding this seems to assume I have my phone somehow connected to my computer. I live in Germany and the phone is plugged into completely different box and so has nothing to do with the computer at this point.
How can I simply write a Word document (Office 2003 and Office 2010 beta) and send it to a fax number? e.g. are there any online services that do this, either free or payable via PayPal?
Solution 1:
Since I do not have a phone line anymore I use faxzero when I need to send a fax. Although there are a few draw backs

Solution 2:
Two ways:
You obtain a DSL line filter suitable for connecting a standard voice telephone to the DSL line, then connect an analog fax modem to the line through the line filter.
Use the Internet. See this extensive coverage:
