I'm trying to find software which will allow me to fax. It needs to work over a LAN (multiple users). I know there are loads of packages for this but the one capability that I want is that you can send your fax as an e-mail - again some packages available which can do this. I have FaxNow 5 but this takes my fax message and creates an exe attachment. If I send this to a user, first of all, their firewalls could block e-mails with exe attachments, second if they are like me - I immediately delete e-mail messages with exe attachments. What I need the fax software to do, is to put the actual fax message into the e-mail - i.e. not as an attachment. Any body know if such software exists.

thanks.

If you go to www.download.com you will find some fax software that might suit your need. But the best one is the fax machine 2.0, after you scan, type the telephone number of the recipient and send it like ordinary e/mail and it will be recieved on an ordinary fax machine. For attachments, save it as JPEG, attach it to e-mail, the recipient won't have to open the attachment, if they open the e-mail, the attachment will open automatically underneath your letter. So no exe or something.

No, this is not a solution either. I don't want an attachment. What I want to fax/e-mail is a text document - no images but I want the text embedded within the e-mail. I have been searching and I do not think the software is out there.
