>>If it's not already installed, it'll ask you if you want to install Symantec Fax Starter Edition. Say Yes. It'll start up the Windows Installer, and call for your distribution CD. Follow the instructions. If you install WinFax Pro at some point in the future, it'll use that rather than the Starter Edition. You can use Outlook's automation model to send faxes as well as email; based on what it finds in the address book, I think it will send a fax if you have an entry with a fax # but no email address. You can explicitly create faxes separately from emails.

Outlook Express is not Outlook, Michel. You need MS Outlook, part of MS Office, to have Symantec Fax Starter Edition. You may be able to add the MS Fax components from Win95 to ME in the same fashion that it could be added to Win98, but I've never tried. Most PCs that ship with a modem, or add-on modems for the PC come with third-party fax software like QuickLink or BitFax; they're both able to handle simple fax operations. There are also any number of shareware fax products around; you might want to try shareware.com or download.com to see what's available as alternatives to whatever software was bundled with the modem.
