The FAX is dead, long live the FAX!

These days faxing documents about is a rare thing for me.

Most of the time, when asked to fax something, I ask if I can email it instead.

If it is sensitive then I 7zip it with a password and and then SMS the password to the email recipient.

I've not been turned down yet.

However, if you are still in need of a proper fax hanging off your computer then man have I got something to show you.

I recently tried the UT Box Fax Printer Driver.

This little gem lets you install a fax printer that then allows you to send faxes to land lines over the Internet.

There is a free trial that lasts a month or so. The pricing thereafter is reasonable (certainly cheaper than buying a new fax machine, renting a dedicated phone line and all that other malarkey).
