| On Line Useful Fax Programs: | |
|---|---|
| www.fax4free.com | http://www.fax4free.com/home.asp |
| Send a fax from you computer. Register yourself, then sign in, and send a fax. You can either write one on the spot, or send a file you already have written. Nifty program. Also includes a voicemail feature. | |
| www.efax.com | http://www.eFax.com/help |
| This program give you a free fax number, so that if someone wants to send you a fax, give them this number. It is a long distance number (from the Olympia area), but that shouldn't matter. Has worked very well for me. | |
| Using these two programs eliminates pretty much the need for a fax machine if you only need to fax things once in awhile. The only thing that would be difficult to fax would be medical records or specific forms that aren't on you computer. | |
