BEST FAX software for Mac OS X???

Hi, I'm wondering what software you use to send faxes in OSX, I'm currently running OSX 10.5.8 Thanks, Fred

Faxing is built-in to the OS. You just need a modem or an older Mac (like a Powerbook G4) that has a modem built-in to plug into a phone line.

Yeah...on the print dialog one of the options on the PDF button is "Fax PDF...". Gotta have a modem as Jim wrote.

If you don't have a modem Mac just use a service like SR Fax... $6 a month.
Landlines have gone south with the internet so hopefully if you have a landline you don't mind paying the long distance charges because not all fax numbers are toll free.
SR Fax works through you browser. I think I can send up to 50 and receive 100 a month @ that price... works great for most needs.

Thanks for all of your help!

When I try to fax something in OSX get the message - "no fax modem found".

SRfax is now $9 a month, don't see that they have price on individual faxes.... which would be good in my case since I don't send very many anymore.

Right now I'm wondering if I should just get pagesender or some other software unless someone knows a way to set up a fax modem....

Thanks again for all of your help!

No, look here: http://www.srfax.com/srf/LP_USPricing.php
the ultra lite plan is $6.95 for a month. It has cost me $10-$20 going to a faxing place for a few pages because it always tuns out to be more pages sent for some reason even though you hand them 2 pieces of paper he he... I use it and it works perfect.
You obviously don't have a modem Mac. The newer Macs don't have them...
I think they stopped in late 2006.
