But that's the problem. As soon as your fax number gets known, people 
start blasting you faxes you don't want. And that costs toner and paper.

If you need to send faxes, but dont want to mess with hardware, I used 
to use Protus <http://www.protus.com/>. For a varying fee schedule, 
they'll give you a number that will redirect faxes to your inbox as 
multipage TIFFs, and allow you to send faxes by e-mail. It was one of 
those "it just works" solutions.

I gave it up a few months back, after I realised I had neither sent nor 
received a fax for a year. Typically, though, I got a request for my fax 
number two days after I dropped the account.

If you need to send a fax for free, and don't mind sending a cover page 
with an ad on it, and can live with patchy coverage, try TPC:
