Anyone using these? I commonly fax off scripts to Pharmacies and letters to GP, and rather than running my own HylaFAX server as I used to, I just now use a gateway. The one I use just asks me to prefix their domain with the fax number and send the fax as an attachment. I used to do this manually, copying the location of the file, and the email address but I have finally done this straight from the print history dialog.
I used efax for a while. It was relatively expensive 5 years ago. I'm using Ventafax for faxing now. Either scan + fax or print to fax. Ventafax is better than SnappyFax.
So how does Ventafax work? You select a file, fill in some fax numbers and then push a button to send it?
Pretty much. It's networked. I use a Laptop as the Ventafax server. Each client has a Ventafax Printer driver ... you print to that (either directly from a program, or printing a file). All the clients have a networked Address Book that works well. You just type a few letters in and then pick the location you want to send it.
