May need to do some temporary faxing so do not want to invest a lot of time or money. Do not want to buy a fax machine if I don't have to. Is there a way to do it on a computer? How would you connect the phone to the computer or am I way off? Don't know anything about faxing so be gentle.

First question is why do you absolutely have to fax? Are you just trying to send documents to a business or individual? If they have an email address, it sure easier to just scan a document in any printer with scan capabilities, save as a document on your computer and send as an attachment.

Yes, it can be done, but it needs a phone modem. From How To Geek...

Quote:
Microsoft Windows even contains a Fax and Scan application that allows you to send faxes. The catch is that you’d need your computer connected to the phone line — yes, this means that you’d need a dial-up fax modem. You’d also need a landline telephone connection and you’d have to tell people to stay off the phone when you’re sending faxes, just like in the old dial-up Internet days. Of course, if you were faxing a lot, you could pay for a a dedicated fax telephone line — this might even be necessary if you were receiving a lot of faxes.


Another option is to go to some place like your library or UPS store. Some of them will send faxes for you for a fee.

UPS store faxes? I didn't know that. That might be the easiest way to go.

Some do and some don't... check first. This is the listing for my local UPS store. Fax services are listed under "additional services."

Earlier this year I needed to fax someone and I went to my local packing/shipping place for this service - I don't recall exactly what they charged me, but I am pretty sure it was between three and four dollars.
