I'm astounded that MS would strip out fax functionality from Vista Home
Premium and I regret, for an ever-growing number of reasons, upgrading from
XP.

I now have scanners that won't work, printers that won't work, tons of
software that's useless and now, no fax capability.

Personally, I think MS is evil.

Fat people eating three megasize burgers at McD everyday also think
McD is evil.

RE: Vista Fax Software

Yes and if you have one line a good fax switch.
Fax software at snappysoftware.com Snappy Fax Verision 4.0 is working fine
for me.

Also I only have one line for data and voice.
I bought a fax switch from Stapple.
It was ComSwitch 5500 and I used the Semi-automactic mode and it works great.

RE: Vista Fax Software

I have downloaded Snappy Fax 4 as another member suggested and it is working
excellently. Well done to that member for the info!

RE: Vista Fax Software

I found a great one here http://www.rkssoftware.com/index.html , the RKS Fax
is working great on Vista Home Premium. I places a fax choice in the print
options. Any program Word, Publisher, etc. I just choose RKS Fax for printer,
and it works.
