If you use the built in fax capability of the Mac, it needs a dialtone. Fax is an old format. I don't know about the services but I suspect that they do the same thing but it's transparent to the sender. Try receiving a fax without a modem and the best you will get is email.

If you are connected to the internet via your broadband connection, do you still need modem to send a fax or something? Feel free to laugh at my ignorance and self-doubt. Smile!
