This is good to know. We have a Scannx scanner that has fax capabilities, which we’re currently looking into.

I recently saw a demonstration at the Yorba Linda Public Library of a scanner they have that is capable of Internet Faxing.  They say that this is much slower than regular phone line faxing.

There is also Internet faxing, but I am told that is a slow process.

Since sending and receiving faxes is a service that needs to interact with the phone system, I doubt that you will find one that is totally free. There might be some that are ad-supported, but I have not heard about any.

It would be possible to build your own, however you would either need a modem and phone line or lines, or a connection to a SIP provider. I think that would stretch the free model.
