thank you for your response to my ? but i'm looking for a way to send and receive my permits through my HP fax machine that is in my truck. ? is it a software issue?

:-) its a connectivity issue. Faxing is done by telephone. How is your truck fax machine going to dial out? Now if you can establish a wireless link like at a hotel or such you can "fax" from a laptop/perhaps your zire by sending to an online provider. Your issue is how do you connect your equipment; how you get from your truck to a provider/service. Give a person a fish, they eat for a day.

You mis-understand the problem. A fax is normally a phone line setup. The wi-fi you have is a internet setup. The way to get the two to talk is with a program or service that will convert the phone fax to a web enabled and then back to a phone. I would be willing to guess that the trucking industry already has a common solution. It may be a company based setup. If you are a loner then the web based fax setup may be the best solution. Consider a mobile phone that might be used to send and receive faxes. They used to be out there. Dunno anymore.

Well I was curious to see what MS has to offer. HERE is what they have through a third party vendor called scanR From what I gathered the procedures isn't that simple but it should work if you desperately need it and you are willing to put up with the inconveniences. Who knows maybe there will be wireless fax once Vista is released. i_XpUser
