I've had companies want a fax of my military ID card. They wouldn't
take a jpg. So I had to trudge
down to UPS to get the fax sent. Only $1, but a pain in the butt. An
excuse for a motorcycle ride
though.
You can fax from your computer if it still has a modem in it. I
haven't seen a built in modem that did not have fax capabilities since
the 486 days.
The problem is POTS modems are starting to disappear in newer
machines.
XP has fax support in the basic load but it is a bit clunky to use.
I still have a W98 machine on my scanner that can fax.
I suppose I'd have to have a scanner though. I don't. My wife has a
little portable she uses for her
scrapbooking, but I don't think my ID card would fold enough to get through the thing.
I bought an inexpensive scanner a year ago. It's an Epson V330 and was
$99. I choose it because in addition to doing up to 8.5" x 11" photos
or documents, it also will do film negatives and 35mm slides. My
sister and I were putting together an album of digital images taken from
the slides that my parents had, dating back to the 1950's.
It does a pretty decent job.
I am still getting along OK with my old HP SCSI scanner. If it craps
out, I still have another one. ;-)
I did get rid of my sheet scanner when I stopped all of that faxing to
the state.
I have an all in one HP. Expensive ink. Rarely fax anymore, but scan in
and email the scan. Very handy, for a lot of small scan jobs.
