It seems so easy but if you could help me if something. I`m running Vista Ultimate with built in fax and scan. I have DID number in Tokyo and would like to use this for receiving faxes received from fax machines to my email as PDFs. Is this possible. I don`t want to use any external fax machine or modem.

By the way, AutoMail is not free. It cost 20euro

Thank you for reply in advance

As long as the fax software application can save the file as a bitmap you should be ok... what error are you getting?
