For many years now I’ve been suggesting to my students that they get themselves a free eFax account that they can use to receive faxes as attachments in their email box. David Pogue of the NY Times just had a brief mention of another service called Faxaway that you might want to look in to as well. While this has not been my experience with eFax, David claims they harvest addresses for spam, and claims that Faxaway does not. Apparently Faxaway does charge about $1 per month for the service.
