I assume that Winfax 10 is software which works with a normal fax/modem?
If so, you can use it ok with BB by simply plugging the fax/modem into a
*voice* socket. [You won't be able to use the phone at the same time as you
are sending or receiving faxes, of course].
If you follow this route, make sure that your browser and email client are
set up to "Never dial a connection" - to make sure that you never
accidentally use a dial-up internet connection instead of BB.
A solution adopted by many BB users is to use one of the free fax-to-email
services for *incoming* faxes - so as not to tie up the phone line - and to
use a fax/modem for *outgoing* faxes, since you have more control over
ensuring that these are sent at times when the phone isn't needed. The only
possible downside is that most of the fax-to-email services use 0870 numbers
which - from your other post - you seem not to like.
