yep. from Win95 to (gulp) WinME during install you could select MSfax as an option. It was part of MS's "home convenience" push. 1 phone line you could have an answering machine, receive faxes and data exchange in one app.
It worked lousy- but you could create a fax from a scan, and receive faxes/ voice messages and voice calls on a single POTS line.
It was a good idea.

Uhh...Chris, cable modems don't use POTS lines.
Be careful when using one of those services. Some of the "free" ones require you to install adware/spyware. Others will sell you email address or the recipient's fax number to spammers.

intellifax is a pay service. You just send an e-mail. No proggie involved, thus no adware and the like.
And I've only recieved two junk spams in 7 months.
