Fax techniques. a) How to send text to a fax machine by email free? b) How to receive free via email a text fax from a fax machine?

We use the Library Document Station by Envisionware, which uses the Scannx system. The internet fax portion works well, but it can be very slow – sometimes around 5 minutes to send a single page fax. It does give the user the option to have a confirmation sheet emailed to an email address, so it isn’t necessary to wait for the process to complete in order to verify that the fax was sent.

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.
