Some online faxing services may not work well with older operating systems like Vista. Here are a few online fax services that may have compatibility with Windows Vista:
      • FaxZero: FaxZero offers limited free faxing services, primarily for sending faxes within the USA and Canada.
      • HelloFax: HelloFax is another online service that allows you to send faxes for free with some limitations.
      It's important to verify the compatibility of these services with Windows Vista before proceeding. Additionally, keep in mind that some services may have limitations or restrictions on free accounts. Remember to ensure your system is protected with antivirus software and that you are cautious when downloading and installing any software or services.
