Thanks for the info.
Thom: I already have a p/s/c (plus a fax modem), but don't leave my computer on all day, plus I don't have a dedicated phone line for the fax.
Rick: The $25 is prolly about right. I am a CPA (a professional cheapskate and skinflint). It's said that I squeak when I walk.
I found www.packetel.com. I now receive faxes via my email account for $3.95/mo. Got my own local area code even. Since my email is via SBC, my mailbox is accessable from any internet computer. Therefore I'll be able to access my faxes (new and stored ones too) from anywhere. This has a lot advantages to a machine-based fax.
