Would this be a good place to ask whether there's any fax software
available, for use with either motherboard-based or external faxmodems,
for sending fax, under Windows Vista Home Premium? Free preferred.

I note with great regret that, unlike Win XP and earlier (or
Vista Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise), Vista Home Premium
does *not* come with any "Fax Wizard" or "virtual Fax Printer".

Is, say, Symantec's WinFax 8 too Vista-unaware to function acceptably,
as some rumors would have it?

TIA for any usable pointers. And cheers, -- tlvp

Not easy to find freeware; this appears promising:


http://www.blackice.com/impColorFaxLite.htm

May work with modifications:

http://www.usr.com/bvrp/bvrp-904.asp

See this thread:

Pay fax software for Vista Home is easy to find.

Quick second feedbacks: The USR / BVRP link looks especially promising.
The BlackIce link has yet to email me their promised DL instructions & AUTH.
Your munged Reply address *may* cause trouble for whoever is actually at
SPAMyahoo.com, for, as NSLOOKUP reveals, that may be a valid domain:

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: spamyahoo.com
Addresses: 206.190.60.37
68.180.206.184

But thanks again! And cheers, -- tlvp

I tried the Black Ice Impact ColorFax. Seems to be a winner.
Although I can't figure out how to make it to not intercept incoming
calls.

As it turned out, I did get Black Ice Impact ColorFax to work as a
printer emulator. After an e-mail to tech support and the response
several days later, I was given the diagnosis that I may have a
corrupted installation. Following the given instructions, I
uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled ColorFax. Now it works also as
a printer emulator.
