Title: Internet Fax
Post by: Tanya on April 30, 2007, 10:30:03 AM
Internet Fax services allow one to send and receive faxes over the Internet. There are many commercial services that provide fax to Internet gateways. These services allow you to send and receive faxes using an e-mail or web-based client. When sending, you can send an e-mail to a special e-mail address or use a web-based client to send the fax. The service then dials the fax number and converts the message to a standard fax that is sent to the fax machine. For receiving, the service provides you with a phone number that your clients can use to send the fax. Instead of receiving the fax at a machine, the service converts the fax into an e-mail message that is delivered to your inbox.
