Its as simple as using the fax number instead of an email address, in any email class such as Nigel Coates'. Be aware that there is some crazy behaviour if you send from Win98 - you get a fax fro each attachment, and for the body, even if it's blank. Works much better from NT. I use a spooling strategy so that only one station handles the fax transmissions.

Setting up Outlook and the Fax Service on NT can be a bit tricky. Unless you do the configuration in a particular order, you may get errrors.
