You can not use your ADSL connection to send or receive faxes (except
by using some web-based or E-mail-based fax service). To directly send
or receive faxes, you need a fax modem connected to a dial-up line.

However, if you don't have such a modem, you can easily add one to
your computer for as little as $10 or so.

Too bad that if you already have a fax modem and dial-up line and Vista Home
Prem. you can't get a fax program for $10.
