I've searched the external RTC modem solution, the internal too.
Truth is these modems are considered things of the past and do not get much upgrade or anything... all I find is old software and hardware that glitches a lot...

Considering how basic and easy the function is, I wonder why manufacturers do not even think about it! it's so basic, so obvious you may want to attach an incoming fax to your next email... or you'd like to keep trace of your incoming faxes on your comp for whatever reason.

To my knowledge, the only manufacturer I'm sure does this is Brother, but I hate their printers that stop printing when any cartridge is empty and black isn't for example or many other glitches related to their network software....

I tried HP support, but they suck even though their hotline is damn expensive... and they never replied my mail!

It's actually very strange... when fax is so important and even is legal in France for contracts for example (I guess it's the same in other countries?)

Well, thanks for your answer, I hope someone can help me MFP wise, because I guess it's the only way to have up to date hardware and software. (or bloatware, but it's another subject)
