Hello friends!

Can anyone tell me which is the best software to do fax from computers using modem?

I have used Symantec WinFax Pro 9 and no doubt it is a very good software, but as all other Symantec products, it seems to be very resource hungry. As I have a P2 400 Mhz with only 159 MB SDRAM in my office, I need a software which is light on resources and should have a feature of sending fax directly from other softwares like Word, Excel etc.

Moreover, is there a way to send fax using my existing BSNL Broadband connection?

Thank you.

In my Windows days, I used to use a program named Ventafax. It was quite good and had lots of features with low resource consumption. You must also have got a CD with your modem and I am almost 99% sure that it must be having at least one Fax program, if not more. Just have a look into the CD as the bundled software are usually very light.

If you have a telephone line connected to you computer (ie if you have a modem) then the software simply makes you computer a fax machine.

Yes, that means you can send fax directly to a fax machine from your computer (like a printout) and you can ALSO RECIEVE Faxes directly from a fax machine to your computer.

Cool eh??
