Guess the best option for what you are looking at would be an efax.

You will be provided with a fax number and all the faxes that you would like to receive will be mailed across to your email id as attachments and similarly any fax that you wish to send can be sent as efax.

If the receiver has a fax machine whatever fax document you forward via efax will be sent and received by the receiver as a regular fax document in his faz machine.

The same applies as in if the sender sends dox through a regular fax machine to your efax number the documents will be forwarded as attachments to your email id.

You just need to search the right service provider who offers the serice in UK.

This is more convinent, no invesment on fax machines etc. And file management is also easier

Hope this information helps...

Don't have a solution I'm afraid. I have an All in one printer and a fax to email number. All faxes I send out have the fax to email number on as the default fax number so any that are replied to come to my computer. I can send faxes from PC and from the printer.

Sadly it doesn't do sending faxes as email.. I've not heard of one that does.

Hi,

We have Ventafax software available as a backup to our regular fax machine.
Using ventafax in place of a fax machine lets a PC receive and send faxes automatically just as if it was an actual fax machine. You can also email the faxes should you choose to do so.
The received faxes can be stored in a shared network drive easily by just choosing the directory location in the Settings.
The only hardware you need is a PCI or external modem.

I hope that helps.

You say a fax to email service isnt appropriate but then say you want a machine that does fax to email?

Most fax to emails are free as they use an 0870 number so get their income from the call charges.

Sending faxes is simple software on your PC - scan in a copy of your signiture and you can place it on documents as and when necessary.
