Are they any free fax programss for downloading?
I have Windows Vista on my new HP desktop PC and it didn’t come with the Fax Console like Windows XP. Are there any free programs that I can download that operate similarly to the XP Fax Console?

No. Prior to Vista, Microsoft offered free fax software since Win 98. A FAX program is not included with Vista Home Basic or Vista Home Premium.

Makes it easy to send and receive faxes, scan documents and images, and share those items with others-right from your computer.

There is some software available to allow you to add this capability to Vista.

There are some online services (expensive) that will send a fax for you for a monthly charge.
