"Sending and receiving faxes by internet from your home, office, client's office, hotel or airport, is easy and affordable."
Fax To Email
Faxes sent to your special fax phone number arrive in your email box. You'll need a commercial email fax service to do this. Most email fax services include a free local or toll free fax number. (In some cases you can use your existing fax number.) You probably already have the software you need to view the fax since most arrive as .pdf files. If not, you can get it for free.
Email To Fax
Send a fax right from your email box to any fax number. Email and attachments are converted to a fax and instantly delivered to the recipient's regular fax number. The fax will look just like most ordinary faxes. Again, you'll need an email fax service to do this since the conversion is done by the service.
Fax From The Web
Some email or internet fax services allow you to go directly to your account on their web site where you can manage faxes. Typically, you can print, store, sort, send and broadcast faxes directly from your account web page. This is a nice feature if you are away from your desk and want access to stored faxes or you need to send a fax from someone else's computer.
Fax From Your Computer
The software provided by some fax services allows you to fax documents from within Microsoft Office, Word, Outlook, and other programs with just a single click!
It is, of course, possible to simply hook your computer to a phone line
and send a fax using the software included with Windows XP or Mac Tiger OS.
The only cost is the cost of the phone call. This may be a great choice for
sending faxes but to receive faxes in the same way is a little tougher. You'll
need to have your computer standing by and set to answer the phone - and of
course the phone line cannot be busy.

Free Trials
Most Fax Services offer a free trial. Normally, you will need to give credit card information for signup. The services need this information to verify the signup is by a real person and not a web robot seeking to send spam. Remember, if you forget to cancel the trial before the trial period ends your credit card will usually be charged for the service.
