yes its possible. im also looking to set up something similar on my PC. you will need a 56K fax modem and software such as Symantec's Winfax or the one already built into Windows.
Im not sure how to exactly configure it though. I would do a google search for that.
What I really wanna know though is whether or not its possible to send faxes over broadband cable

>> whether or not its possible to send faxes over broadband cable <<
of course it is
as long as u have the internet and a computer

EDIT: Oh sorry, CORRECTION: its not possible.. dont even know why I said that... but there shud be some services on the net which lets u upload the pic and they'll send the fax, possibly free of charge

for fax via dialup modem in winxp without third party software:
go to Control Panel and open the thing normally use to Add/Remove Programs. then click on Add/Remove Windows Components, and give a tick on the Fax component. u may need to insert the winxp CD.
after its installed, it'll be under Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications.
if u want to send fax, u can print it from any program.. Fax will appear as a "printer".

it might be in the near future if telephony services over cable become available. i think this would mean that you would have to get a different telephone number tho

I had done it at some stage when I was still on 56k, and I remember the results were quite good.

I think there might be some services which allow you to send faxes over the internet. I remember I used to have a fake international number which people could dial, and would answer with a phone message. The message that the caller leaves then gets left in your account as an mp3 or something? I can't remember, but that same service allowed me to send faxes too from that number. This was back in my scam baiting days though, and i can't remember where all that was from...
