VB Fax Code - Send Faxes from VB6

Need to send a fax in VB6? The InterFAX VB fax API enables you to send faxes with only a few lines of VB6 code, with no installations. InterFAX accepts documents in many popular formats (PDF, Word, HTML, ASCII, URL), and sends them to a fax number you specify. With InterFAX, you can perform basic fax send/receive, or get more advanced sending capabilities, like multiple destinations, document resolution, and deferred transmission.

Note: This section includes samples for the VB6 framework.
