-- Posted by morgan82 at 3:50 pm on June 8, 2009 At my parents office, there is a fax machine... Can I hook up the cord that is going to the fax into the computer, and connect to the internet? If so, do I need software? HELP! -- Posted by hLyNuR35 at 3:51 pm on June 8, 2009 No you don't need software. But you need a number to dial up to. So it'd have to be a free isp or something. Dial-up though? You can't find some free wireless or something? -- Posted by ZenaGirl at 3:55 pm on June 8, 2009 Wouldn't you need an account with a dial-up ISP- if there are such things anymore. -- Posted by AngelaChase at 3:43 pm on June 11, 2009 It's probably more effort than it's worth.  Do you have a wifi card in your laptop?  I'd say just go down to a coffee shop and you can get free wifi that way.
