We laymen call it a "controller-based" modem


Funny, I've Always called them "Winmodems"

Or crap modems. I prefer external serial modems with pretty lights and
audio speaker control! Oh and good old fashion terminal client with
command line: ATZ, ATH0, ATM0, ATDT1234567890, etc. Then, seeing CONNECT
26400, NO CARRIER, BUSY, etc. Yes, I am old.

Even older dial-up modems like my external serial USR Sportster
33.6k modem would do! Yes, I still have it and works! It is
mainly as a backup when my cable Internet service goes down and
that's very rare.

I have a controller-based USR dial-up modem as a spare. But I have
AT&T DSL and a Clear wireless hotspot. It's an efficient
combination (otherwise I wouldn't be paying for it), and not too
expensive. The wireless hotspot is good for away from home. It is
also good as a 3 Mb per second DSL Internet power booster from
time to time (it might not add much to a fast cable connection).
Windows XP handles both connections (USB connected wireless and
telephone outlet DSL) without a hitch. Either can be disabled in
midstream, and applications effortlessly switch connections.
Unbelievable, considering prior versions of Windows. The wireless
hotspot is also useful for ultraportable computers (smartphones,
like an iPhone) when at home. You could also use a cable/DSL
wireless gateway for that, I guess, but it's pointless with the
hotspot around.

I did a poor job of quoting. I was referring to Paul's mention of
"a modem with full datapump" as what was commonly called a
"controller-based modem".

Can I still get the internal modem I used to have. It would have to be
the AGP type and work with windows 7

I tossed a few out earlier this year. Some were internal PCI an others
were external serial. I have 2 laptops both with internal modems. I
figured these would do if ever I felt the need to fax someone. So far, I
have managed quite well with email.

I hope you didn't literally throw them away if they still worked. You
could had donated/give away/sold them!

Any FREE web-based fax service in UK?

Anyway, you need a 56k USB modem to use Fax & Scan Service over PSTN
network.

Hi I live in the UK and woundered if I could send a fax using my PC.
Years ago (about 1990) I had WinFax which allowed me to do this. I
could receive them if my PC was on also. I simply typed up somthing in
MS Word and faxed it.
Now I have Windows 7, an AOL wireless/wired router. I tried
All Programs - Windows Fax and scanner

But it does not recognise this. I am in the UK so maybe I need UK help
here?

In an effort to save the planet, the phone company could allow your
phone number to automatically detect a fax and re route it to an email
address assigned to your account.

I can't believe we still use Fax machines.

Lawyers still use them. My father/dad/pa still uses one. :/

Most physicians still use FAX as well. It all has to do
with ease of spoofing and liability. It may be that the
signature is the important feature of FAX, at least from
a non-technical point of view.
