You don't need a separate fax program - the Mac can send and receive faxes by itself provided you have an internal or external modem. Connect the modem, go to System Preferences, Print and Fax, and add your modem as a fax. Set up preferences such as your phone number, receive options (answer after a number of rings, email/print/save the fax, etc). Then go to any application (Mail, Safari, Word), and use the Print command, then PDF - Fax PDF, to send a fax.

The problem is that I don't have a modem. I have only digital cable modem, which doesn't send FAXes

OK, then your best bet is one of the internet-fax services. Faxzero.com works well for small faxes and is free.

Fax0 is OK for text only. I attached the .doc and I don't get the embedded JPG inside the word document. Just the text.

Thanks anyway.

You can use GotFreeFax.com to send free fax online. It allows you to upload a PDF/Word file or simply enter text to fax.
