Vanity: WIN XP, Best fax software/freeware?

Am using a Visoneer 8900 USB scanner.

In geneeal, it works well and gives a good quality output: copy (though only 1 print per run!), print and scans. OCR is adequate, though not often needed.

But - what software/freeware/shareware do you recommend for faxing?

Am on Windows XP, earthlink DSL, connected via USB, and have the usual Word and Excel programs. Paperport comes with the scanner, but it doesn't have a fax feature.

Any recommendations?

Any software you'd absolutely never get again?

Second problem, minor but irritating.:

Why, oh why, do I have to reboot with the scanner powered "on" before revboot, to get the scanner hardware to get recognized by XP? Seems like it would "pliug-and-play recognize simply by powering up the scanner without rebooting windows.

Doesn't XP have fax software built in?

You can't go wrong with WinFaxPro.

Not free, but worth every cent.
