Interesting. We have HP LaserJet Professional M1530 MFP on the network. &nbsp;Will that one work like you are talking about? &nbsp;I looked at the user manual, but wasn't sure what to look for.

We currently use a subscription service to receive faxes. We are wanting to change that and start receiving faxes on a computer. &nbsp;What is a typical setup to use? I assume we would need a fax card. Is it as simple as just buying a fax card, install it and hook to a phone line and we are good to go? &nbsp;Are there other ways to receive a fax into the computer where a phone number is actually dialing us up over an internet connection?<br />
<br />
If fax card and phone line, can you suggest a card to use? &nbsp;Is there software that gives a heads up if/when there are problems like faxes not coming through? &nbsp;We had a basic card in a machine a while back, but there was no way to know when it wasn't working until a customer/vendor called to let us know faxes were failing.<br />
<br />
If there are other methods like receiving via internet connection, what would we need?

How to receive faxes on computer

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
