    Hi,

     

    We have gotten rid of all of our FAX machines, and went with eFax. It saves money by not needing all of those analog phone lines for FAXing, all 50 of them.

     

    Most places will accept email, and scanned copies of documents attached, but there are a few diehards out there that insist on a regular FAX, so we have eFax.

     

    If you are a business, then you can afford eFax. I even have it at home, as I FAX several documents a month, which makes it reasonable to have. The cost of a phone line is more than my monthly eFax service bill. I could have used my primary phone line, but I didn't want to tie it up.

     

    Now I don't even have a land line anymore - just cell, and broadband.

     

    Cheers,

    M.

    Do you know what driver it wound up picking? (Click Fax Setup in the fax queue window)

    See my post here for a review of the $11.49 eBay generic modem.

    Yvan,

     

    I ran into the same problem with my Apple USB Modem. I installed the Zoom 56K Dial-up USB Modem Model 3095 and had it working in 10 minutes. Good product! I had seen references to this modem online before I made the purchase. I had to go out of town for a few days, so I ordered it from Mac Mall and it was delivered while I was away.
