Dave,
I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium.
After looking through my machine, and a Google search, it appears that the
handy faxing capability that was available in earlier editions of Windows,
is only in the higher-end editions of Vista (Business/Ultimate/Enterprise).
My (low-end) Vista does have a fax viewer -- Windows Photo Gallery -- but
apparently no fax sending.
In fact, because my Openbook 8 only reads the first image in a TIFF file,
I'm using Windows Photo Gallery to open my incoming fax TIFFs. Then from
there, I print the file to the freedom Import Printer. Coming at it that
way, Openbook reads multi-page TIFFs just fine.
Bottom line: I guess I'll stay with my $1 per month faxaway.com account,
since that is working nicely for both outgoing and incoming faxes.
Thanks!
LuRetta

I use the built-in fax printer that comes with Windows. You specify "fax" as
the printer and then you wizard through the dialogs to create the cover page
and send the fax.
If not installed, use add/remove programs in the control panel and install
Windows components tool button. It will be under "accessories".
Works very well -- you just need to have a standard wireline phone connected
to your computer and a fax modem.

Thanks for your response, Harmony.
Previously, I had been walking to the local copy shop to have them fax
things for me.
Now I need to fax somewhat more often, so I went looking for a way to do it
from my computer.
For now at least, I've settled on using www.faxaway.com.
I can e-mail my document to them as a Word attachment, and they fax it, with
status e-mails back to me about whether the fax was successful.
For incoming faxes, they receive the fax, and e-mail it to me as a TIFF
file.

I've never tried faxing to be honest. Mind you, I've never really had a
reason to do so.

Greetings,
Are there particular fax websites that work better than others with JAWS,
for both sending and receiving?
I'm in Vista, with JAWS 12.0.522.
Thanks!
LuRetta
