Neither Vista Home Basic nor Vista Home Premium come with fax
capability. You need one of the higher versions for that.

Although upgrading to a higher version of Vista is a choice, a cheaper
alternative is buying of the several inexpensive third-party fax
programs available.

Another choice is buying a stand-alone fax machine. I bought my fax
machine for $20 on sale.

These Fax products work under Vista:

Snappy Fax
http://www.snappysoftware.com/
RKSFax
http://www.rkssoftware.com/rksfax/overview.html
VentaFax
http://www.ventafax.com/
FaxTalk FaxCenter Pro 7.5

I've seen reports that the free version of BVRP works with Vista also:

http://www.usr.com/bvrp/bvrp.asp
BVRP PhoneTools

Since the above comes bundled with new USR modems, I don't know if it will
work with non-USR modems. You can also send Faxes via your Internet
connection provided you are willing to pay for an Internet E-Faxing service:

FAQ: How can I send a fax from the Internet?

You're welcome, but upgrading just for the fax capability? That's a
very expensive way to go. It's much cheaper, as I said, to buy a
third-party fax program. Hal gave you several choices.
