I efax at work and
love it. I simply open a new email, add text and/or documents and send. A header/footer is automatically applied (probably a template that was set up previously), and any attachments (pdf, docs, images, etc) to the email get faxed perfectly. I get a return receipt (or failure) for each fax via email.
It's great because it's one more reason my fat ass doesn't have to leave my chair. No screwing around with a fax machine jamming, out of paper, line busy, fax line down, etc. Ever seen
Office Space? The scene where they give the fax a beatin' brings tears to my eyes. Tears of joy. (I am not a patient person.)
All of our faxes arrive into a database in pdf format which we access through Lotus. Most of the time it displays the number or name of the sender (if the sender has their fax programmed as such). It's great because the junk faxes don't get printed, and for the tools who fax shit 3 or four times because they can't figure out how to work their own fax machine, we only print what we choose to print.
I'm not sure of the name of the service my corporation uses - I just type the fax number 1 area code fax number and add @faxmail.com... like this:15615555555@faxmail.com
