i want to fax to my contacts from outlook all 600 or so
As noted, please post your Outlook question in an Outlook newsgroup.
If you're posting from Microsoft's web interface, scroll down to find
an Outlook newsgroup that seems appropriate, rather than posting in
the first newsgroup you come to.
Note also that many states (my state of Idaho among them) have strict
laws against sending unsolicited fax messages. If you fax me without
prior arrangement, your fax will be forwarded to the Idaho attorney
general's office; they've levied fines up to $150,000 on companies
which routinely spammed faxes.
