What are your favorite fax programs these days?

[dave morton]

In my business, we estimate to have saved in paper (from sending or 
receiving) over 75000 pages in the past 3 years. Add to that the cost of 
toner, fax machine replacement/repair for that kind of volume and the 
savings are staggeriing. We scan everything in, or print it through a 'tiff 
' driver when graphics are required, directly off the desktop (never 
producing any paper at all). Hylafax can convert ASCII, pdf, postscript and 
a few other formats into a faxable/emailable format.

As for the demise of the fax machine, I wish it were true, but alas , most 
of the hospitals, insurance companies, banks and law firms in Toronto still 
don't know what to do with a tiff attachment if it is emailed. The desire 
to handle paper is still very entrenched.

We get about 10-15 junk faxes / day, but it doesn't matter because you 
simply hit the 'delete' button.

Hylafax can be set up for 'send'  environments only, or for 'receive' only. 
It also allows you to send the fax forward as a fax or email; whatever your 
choice.

As for 'fiddling' with a hylafax server, we don't. It's Linux, rock solid, 
and never goes down...ever!!
