Use a hosted email to fax app, like http://www.efax.com or http://www.myfax.com/

- Both of the above services mentioned offer 30 day free trials.
- You don't have to deal with a modem and it's drivers.
- You don't have to deal with file conversion.
- It's cheaper than having a separate phone line.
