Does Leopard have a FAX? I read the Help menu and....

Question

About the FAX capabilities in Leopard: The Help menu for the FAX says: “Requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.1.3 or later, including Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar)”
It says JAGUAR. Does this mean that there is no FAX for Leopard? This may sound odd to you, but I have NEVER used a computer FAX and am exploring this possibility since my stand-alone FAX won't work.

This seemed to work for me, up until the point you need a modem that is:
From the 10.5 finder help menu:
You can fax files directly from your computer to any fax machine or computer that’s set up to receive faxes. If your computer has a modem connected to a phone line, it’s automatically configured to send faxes.
To send a fax:
Choose File > Print, and then choose Fax PDF from the PDF pop-up menu.
Type the fax number in the To field, or click the Address Book button to the right of the To field to select a number.
If you want to paste a number into the To field and the Edit > Paste command isn’t available, hold down the Control key as you click the To field and choose Paste from the menu that appears.
If your phone system requires you to dial a prefix for an outside line, type it in the Dialing Prefix field.
If you want to include a cover page, select “Use Cover page” and enter a subject and message.
Make sure the correct fax device is selected from the Printer pop-up menu.
To change your options, choose the option category from the print options pop-up menu.
For example, to choose your modem’s behavior when faxing, choose Fax Modem. You can choose whether to dial with touch tones or pulse tones, whether to listen to the modem as it dials, and whether to wait for a steady dial tone before dialing.
Click Fax.
The fax is sent as soon as your modem is available. For example, if you’re using your modem to connect to the Internet, the fax is sent after you disconnect from your Internet service provider.
The top of every page has a header that contains the date and time the fax was sent, a page number, and the fax number of the sender (from Print & Fax Preferences.)
If you include a cover page, it has a heading that contains fax’s recipient (from the To field in the Print dialog), the fax’s sender (the name of the logged-in user), the date and time the fax was sent, the subject line (from the Subject field in the Print dialog), and the number of pages in the fax not including the cover page. The body of the cover page is the Message field in the Print dialog.
If you have a set of options that you frequently use, you can save it as a “preset.” After you set your options, choose Save As from the Presets pop-up menu. To use this set of options when faxing another document, choose its name from the Presets pop-up menu.
