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

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 did the same thing a few years ago.
I went a bit more expensive and bought the Canon Canoscan 8800F.
I was disappointed in the quality of my old 35mm slides from the early 80's.
I remembered them as pretty good projected on a wall, but the Canon picked up every little imperfection.
I believe I had paid about $280.00 at COSTCO for the flatbed scanner.
Is your I key sticking Donnie?
