With a fax program like this, you can fax word processed documents or scanned pictures directly from your computer.  Sending fax via jConnect is not free.

1. When you try any of the Internet telephony, dial a number where some automated system answers your call or, if it is possible, call yourself.  Do not bother a real person first time.  After you feel comfortable about the mechanism and the quality of the service, talk to a human. 2. Using a headgear with a microphone attached to it will help reduce interference between speakers and a microphone.  Don't spend a lot.  A headset for $10 or less would be good enough. 3. Slight delays in interactions seem to be inevitable.  So, PC-to-Phone calls may not be suitable for business use yet.  But they are sufficiently useful between friends or people who know each other. 4. Try a few services and compare.  5. Downloading the software at most of the sites listed below is free.  Most of them can be used for free PC-PC calls from/to anywhere in the world.
