Christian- re: "EFAX mentions that some level of security is employed..." Hi Christian, Thanx for the response. It would be nice if they provided encryption too since these faxes are traveling over the public networks. Corporations are moving to internet based fax, but this is within their secure virtual private networks. Maybe the encryption is a future offering for a fee. Jon :)

EFAX seems to be very busy, but is keeping in touch. ================================================================ We haven't forgotten about you! We're currently working with literally dozens of phone companies from around the country to secure a new eFax.com number for you. They have the numbers to give us, it's just taking more time than we'd like to get them into our system. We know what an inconvenience this is for you and we apologize for the delay. But we're working overtime with the phone companies to provide ample capacity for our growing eFax.com family. We will notify you as soon as your eFax.com number is ready. Thank you for your patience. eFax.com ========================== Best, Savant

I still don't see why people won't just finally catch on that they can use a scanner and email their own documents, thereby bypassing the need for an efax service. The fewer the channels to be crossed, the fewer possibilities for security breaks. Faxes aren't exactly the most private of paperwork delivery vehicles anyway. In most offices they flop around down by the floor somewhere until a secretary tears them off, tosses them on a desk, an assistant files them, and somehow eventually the hard copy arrives at the desk of its intended. Email on the other hand is much more private, and direct. BTW Vienna man, your favorite links (on your SI profile page) look intriguing but cannot access them here for some reason...
