Tony: EFAX claims to do more than that. They claim to have written software that allows faxes to be sent over the internet. Fax machines today can't handle the time delays inherent in net transmissions. It screws up the handshaking that goes on between the transmitting and receiving machine. If you think about it, you always call a fax machine. You never transmit to it via the internet today. Why not? It would be convenient if I could just send my MS Word Document right to a fax machine. It would require:

1. The document be sent to an internet switching machine somewhere that could dial up the modem in the fax machine.

2. That the delays over the net be compensated for somehow so that the ancient, dumb fax machine doesn't go bonkers trying to figure out what the hey the sending machine is trying to say.

This is what EFAX claims to have solved.
