There are many possible ways to do this. Some companies offer this service on the internet (either with their own software or with products like WinFax). Also, depending on your needs you can buy a complete software solution.

We use Genifax on our LAN.

In the past, I have supported FAXserve which was a pretty nice product and I've heard good things about Tobit's solution.

Here is a good article evaluating faxserver software and comparing them (though a little dated).

Hope this helps! Good Luck!

you can installed or buy winfax. But you have to ask your administrator to enable to fax /modem sharing on your computer for sending faxes from your PC. Or you can use your own modem to send and receiving faxes. For this you will also require a phone line.

Winfax is a great software. I recently installed it on my LAN and now all my users are able to send and recieve faxes directly from their PCs.
It is really easy to install and configure. The only thing you need is have a LAN and have one of the machines with a fax modem run the winfax service. (Fax server)Then configure all PCs to run a Fax client and DONE!!!!

Goood Luck
