I do not have a fax machine on my computer,. I have 2 phone jacks in my home. One for my computer the other for my land phone. Recently when people try to call my phone it will ring twice then go to a weird busy signal . I’ve found that when I unplug my computer from its phone jack, then someone can call my phone like normal. What could be the trouble?

Lately I have needed to send a fax several times and do not have one at home. I was sitting here thinking… I have a modem on my pc, I have an all-in-one printer, and a phone jack right by it. There has got to be a decent easy to use program to send a fax, preferably thats free or affordable. Nothing extravagant. Are there any out there??
I tried to add the fax update to win xp but all it does is pull up a windows update page and says "click to update windows" then "click here to download now" Doesnt list any components anywhere or let you choose fax.

i need to install a new telephone jack into my computer/study room for my adsl internet, but there is no phone jack in there to connect the modem to, how am i able to install a telephone jack in there so im able to use the internet? I do have two other telephone jack throughout my house but one is in the kitchen and the ohter in my bedroom, which is to small for a computer to be in.

I just want to know if I can fax a word document from my PC, sending the file to an actual fax machine plugged into a phone jack, and have that document actually come out as if I faxed a hard copy from another fax machine.

I have a dsl connection through my phone line, However, I don’t have phone service where I can make and receive calls. Could I do a pc fax in this type of scenario if I hook a phone line from my dial-up modem in my pc to the phone jack, or would I have to have phone service?
