Crestron still faxes stuff. As for security concerns we e-mail secure stuff all the time.

As long as the sensitive info is in an attachment, it's fine but too many people just put it in the text of the message and that's not secure, at all..
My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."

One thing that amazes me is that people in customer service at AT&T can't e-mail any info to their customers.

Wouldnt it be great if your Google Voice # would accept a fax and transmit it as a pdf to your email inbox?

What part of "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." do you not understand?

HP printers offer a pretty cool interface that I did over the christmas season for a customer. He was able to get his faxes to his iphone and could email them to his HP printer to print, or he could simply just read it on his phone.

I couldnt live without my Canon all-in-one which as the ability to send - receive faxes, convert to PDF, email them or copy them to a network folder. I need to look into some electronic fax options when I am out on the filed.

Fax machine at the office, but whenever on the road Free Efax account to receive ( including free app on iphone ) and Faxzero to send. It's working fine for me.
By the way, crestron began sending me a lot of faxes but lately all the transactions are being made over email....

There are still a lot of industries that use faxing, such as real estate and law. There are good reasons for this. For example, faxes can be submitted as evidence in a court while emails cannot.

That said, you can use the email fax services to send and receive faxes over the Internet and then just print out the ones you need. There are lots of services that let you use your mobile device to fax as well. Nextiva is the only service (that I know of) that lets you use your fax machine with the Internet fax service. I found a video of how their service works at .

We pay $10 a year for efax... works great. We tend to fax out on the land line just because it is easy but we receive faxes to a dedicated company fax email that we have forwarded to several recipients. It is great for accessing faxed info when out of the office or when my office manager is gone.

Are you sure it's eFax you're using? I don't see a $10/yr plan on their site - [Link: efax.com].

I started using eFax back in the 90's, and it was a great deal. First with their free plan (at that time), then around 2000 or 01 it went up to something like $40 or $50 a year. I still stuck with it, because it was very handy, and I had memorized my number :-)

However, in 04 or 05, they increased their rates to $19.95 a month, and I just couldn't take it. Now I use uReach (http://www.ureach.com) which works well, and seems to be reasonably priced.

What the hell is a fax? Is it going to replace email or something? I'm all for new technology...
