hi, need to send a Fax to paypal about something, printed out the fax sheet which i can easily scan into my Pc

but i dont have a telephone modem on this pc, im on broadband.

I have a older computer with a normal modem in it, will i have to use that, or is there a way of sending a fax over broadband.

Thanks

Or if there is any kind sole out there that wouldn't mind sending 2 sheets for me, I would love them forever and a day

Easiest method is plug in a Win2k PC with a slowdem in it.
Use the in-built fax software.

efax can send/recieve faxes easily via their program/emails.
VERY handy, I have used it for numerous years, but I don't think the free trial account sign-up exists anymore.

We have a fax machine (or several) here.
If you email me (in trust) then I'm sure I could send them on for ya.

THank you captain Fizz, just sent you a email, sorry its 5mb, dont know why, scanned the paypal thing in, saved it in word and it made it 5mb ?

oh well, thank you anyhow if you do manage to do it.

Nice people on this forum at times!

That's it done as I emailed you.

And even though the document was within word - It was still 2 x images.
(Any scanned document is an image... Until read by OCR or whatever.)

So sending just as JPG's/GIF's would probably save a little space.
Only using 12% of my GMail acc anyway.
