Why do I need a modem or a fax-via-email service to send a fax with PageSender?
Faxing ultimately requires a voice phone line. PageSender can use an Apple External USB Modem (or an internal modem if you have an older Mac with one) to connect to a voice phone line directly. Page Sender can also serve as a client for several fax-via-Email services (efax.com, jConnect, MaxEmail, EasyLink, etc.) which maintain the phone line and modem for you (and charge you a fee for that service). Since faxing occurs over a voice phone line, it has nothing to do with DSL or cable modems. You can fax using a voice line which is also running DSL, just as you can make voice phone calls with the same line. One advantage to the fax-via-Email services is that you can avoid tying up your voice line if you have a DSL or Cable modem as your Internet connection because your E-mail will be sent via your DSL or Cable modem, but again you pay for the privilege.
