Short answer: yes — you can get fax modems that work on Windows 7 x64, but the right choice is to pick hardware that explicitly supplies 64‑bit Windows drivers or implements the standard modem/TAPI interface. and are correct to prefer a local analog modem if they need PSTN-level security and reliability.

Choose an external USB analog fax modem when possible. External units are easiest to install and swap between machines. Internal PCI/PCIe modem cards exist but are less common and you must confirm driver support for x64. Avoid mobile-broadband USB sticks (the CDMA/GSM devices) unless the vendor specifically documents AT/fax support — most are data-only.

Quick buyer checklist and install/test steps:

  • Confirm the product page or vendor support explicitly lists Windows 7 64‑bit drivers and “fax”/“voice” capability.
  • After installing drivers, verify the modem appears under Device Manager > Modems and that Windows Fax and Scan can see it.
  • To test basic modem/fax command support, open a terminal to the modem’s COM port and try:
AT
AT+FCLASS=?
AT+FCLASS=1

If AT returns OK and AT+FCLASS=? shows a fax class, the device can accept fax commands. If the modem is unrecognized, install the vendor driver manually (right-click device > Update Driver) or try the vendor installer in compatibility mode.

To : most GSM/CDMA USB sticks do not expose an analog fax modem to Windows. Only proceed if your stick exposes a virtual COM port and responds to the AT+FCLASS test above. Otherwise, the reliable path is an external analog USB fax modem or a fax gateway/ATA that supports T.38 for VoIP.

Thanks Adamsappleone, The problem is that I purchase a new HP p6240f Desk Top, I forgot to include a Fax Modem which I use often. In the other hands, I don't thrust Free fax for my personal documents. The only secure thing so far in this world is by modem. I also know there's some PCI-e card on the market already that will work fine with Win 7. Thanks again for your assistance.
