When I moved the CentOS desktop from one place to another, I forgot how to setup the fax machine or exactly how you should connect the cables to make the fax machine work. When I moved the desktop, I had it like this…phone line -> answering machine -> HP 5610, which works as far as the phone is concerned, fax does not work though. So how did I know the fax doesn’t work without calling a friend to send and received faxes? Simple, use the power of the internet.
The CentOS desktop is powered by a very old Athlon XP processor with 1GB of DDR ram and my fax machine is HP’s 5610 All-In-One. To get your 5610′s fax to work the connection has to be in this order phone line -> HP 5610 -> answering machine. At least that’s how I did it. Now comes the fun part…testing if you can send and receive faxes. To do this test I head over to a couple of websites.
HP Fax Products (1-888-473-2963) – Since I have an HP 5610, I figured out that this should do the trick though I don’t know if it’ll work if yours isn’t an HP brand. this website does both sending and receiving of faxes.
Fax Toys (1-510-545-0990) – This has got to be the coolest (send only) fax test website ever! They’ll display whatever you sent to them in their website! As soon as you sent your fax to their number, head over to their website and check!
Interpage Network Services – This test service only test if you can receive a fax from them.
Fax Zero – This website is more like a free fax service instead of a free fax testing service website. Nevertheless, you can still test your fax machine if it can receive fax messages.

Gosh! People, can you be any stupider? The form on this page does NOT send a fax. Besides, did you enter a phone number anywhere? Read the friggin’ article!
This is why we can’t have nice things. Humanity is doomed by its stupidity.
ding dong testing my fax machine ho ho you hear me there????
Thanks for the very useful info. I have used Hewlett Packard’s service to test my client’s HP fax machines (usually AIO printers-scanners-copiers-fax), but have not tried it while using any other fax machine. However, faxzero.com worked just fine with a client’s Brother AIO machine. (Not FOX zero as noted in the article)
Thanks very useful!
Can anybody see me …LOL thanks great help!

This is just too funny, all these people thinking that entering a comment will test their fax!! It’s like a combined ignorance of fax’ing and blog’ing. No telephone number is involved!! But somehow – OUT THERE – the internet connects all things and so I know this will find it’s way to my home fax machine! Yes!!! It’s kind of an endearing faith in technology – that unfortunately has a sad ending when the fax never arrives:(….let down again…

@I. Diot says “initiate trinary input” but included 3s in the data stream… Clearly he meant “quaternary” as binary would of course only include three numerals: 0, 1, and 2.
The Fox Zero site was correct as originally printed – NOT Fax Zero. When I entered my information, zero foxes were faxed to me, just as the service advertises.
Interpage worked fine for me. HP’s didn’t for some unknown reason.
Nice post. I used to be checking constantly this blog and I am inspired! Extremely helpful info specifically the remaining part
I care for such info much. I used to be looking for this particular information for a long time. Thanks and best of luck.
