[Moz]

Hi Ram

To send faxes via the internet checkout www.tpc.int, which I had used long
time back. And it works.

The software available in repositories is only for use with fax modems
(the old dialup modems with fax capabilities).
I don't think you can send Fax over DSL line or GSM modems. You need
standard PSTN line for that.

A better way to send Fax these days, in case you plan to send them on
regular basis, is to get all-in-one kind of device (print + scan +
fax) from various printer manufacturers.
