Windows vista faxing

Fax software was omitted from the Home versions of Microsoft Vista. In any case, you need third-party software to send and receive faxes using Vista Home.

It has a reputation as a highly reliable, easy to use, and inexpensive fax application for Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7. It works with all versions of these operating systems, including Home versions.

Zetafax is the Windows Vista fax software of choice for thousands of businesses. Because Zetafax resides on a server, your computer does not need a fax modem or a dedicated telephone line. Instead, only the server needs a dedicated telephone line, dramatically reducing your company's costs.

Depending on the size of your company and the volume of incoming and outgoing faxes, as few as telephone lines might suffice one for incoming and one for outgoing or possibly just one line for both. Another advantage Zetafax provides is its constant availability.

For example, if you use a laptop, you probably travel with it sometimes. When it's in your carrying case, it cannot receive faxes. With Zetafax always running in your office, it will receive and hold your faxes for you until you can retrieve them. To send the document, Click Send. Your modem dials, and the fax goes on its merry way. You can go do other work on the PC; when the fax goes through, a cheerful message appears in your notification area.

Your recipient is in for a real treat. If you use vista Home or Home premium, you can try out this email fax alternative to print over internet. I assume that the fax feature works only over a dial-up modem and regular phone line. So to receive a fax, you need to have the computer always connected to the phone line. I wish it were possible to send faxes over a DSL or cable connection.

Most people have this, even if they also have DSL or Cable. Too bad that for marketing reasons the Fax feature is not included in Vista Home or Premium, while XP had it in both editions. You need 3rd party software.
