I have high speed internet service, that being the case I presume that I
would not be able to use the Fax Program in XP, as I am not connected to
a telephone line. Is this correct ?
 
Unlike most dial-up modems, a broadband modem is not capable
of connecting to fax machines, so you cannot send or receive faxes
directly.

In order to send and receives faxes, you'll need a conventional fax modem
with a live telephone line attached. You cannot use broadband unless you
use a web-base fax service, such as eFax:

Or consider purchasing a regular fax machine and connect it to your phone
line.

Yes, that's correct. You could either install a separate fax
modem and connect it to the phone line, or use one of the
internet-based fax services.
