Can someone suggest a worthwhile freeware Vista fax program that
operates like a printer driver (ie you can fax from every program like a
conventional printer, like the inbuilt XP one that for some reason
doesn't seem to be in all versions of Vista)

Lukan - no problems with Vista Home Premium and Snappy Fax Version 4.0
software license $29.99 but you can download and free trial it for 30 days.

You could upgrade to Vista Ultimate:

[Windows Ulitmate - Microsoft]

You coud get a thrid party program such as Snappy Fax:

Try RKS fax - free for 30 days then $19.95. Works fine.

Ah - when I found that Vista Home Premium lacked FAX, I tried to use RKS
Mighty Fax (which I had used with Windows 95) and found that it would not
work with Vista. I have, on your recommendation, just installed their
completely new RKS Fax printer driver written just for Windows Vista and XP.
It worked "straight out of the box". Its simplicity appeals to me, and I may
well now use it in preference to Snappy Fax which is rather more complicated
than I need for occasional home use. Many thanks.
