First of all - I'm not looking for an 'Internet fax' solution or any other third party services, that provides sending fax through Internet.

I want to write an application, that provides sending fax from faxmodem, connected to the computer. I want to write a program, that will send fax, from a fax machine (no matter what the type or model it is).

I that possible? How can I do that?
Please help.

And once again, I'm not looking for Internet fax.

You can use Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI) and the Fax Service Extended Component Object Model (COM) API to send fax. Read more about these items here[^].

There is a good example that implements these here[^]. You might need to use some COM interop though. And of course, you will need a modem.

If you do not want to use Interfax you can easily send fax using faxcomlib.

Umm...why are you posting another answer to a question that was asked FIVE YEARS AGO??

For new developer who want to implement this this will help them.

As one of the links is to an article here on this site then it was pointless to resurrect an old post on the same site!
The 2nd link just seems to be trying to draw attention to your answer on another (rival) site, which is a form of spam.
In any event "new developer who want to implement this" is more likely to find those links via google than via this post on a Q&A forum.
