Faxing poetic

::
{The first in a series of useful AND FREE! internet services}

FaxZero
http://faxzero.com/ has come in handy more than once. Here are two: while traveling, and when my fax was inoperative. I'm sure that there are many others but this is the one that I found, tried, and used.

You get to send up to 2 faxes per day, each no more than 3 pages (not including their cover sheet). Their cover sheet does include an advertisement, but not for porn, so that's a plus, right!?!

They print on their cover page your input Name & Company Name, fax number & email.
They also print your input Sender Name, Sender Company & fax number (no subject line but can't we all agree that fax subject lines are really a waste of time?)

I first received an email with confirmation link to confirm the send of the fax.
Once clicked, it was on its facsimile ferry way....back to me. Hey, I had to try it out first to see what boomerangs back.

It accepts either .doc or .pdf and my pdf came through missing some letters on one page. Yup, just an errant letter here and there on the first page disappeared in Internet Land, but I was not concerned since it was not important letters, like "z" or "q" which are worth 10 points each.

You also then receive a 2nd email confirming that the fax was sent, serving as your cyber receipt.

This is a good service for quick faxes direct from your computer documents, especially while traveling. Of course there is also a more robust pay service available from FaxZero and hundreds more online faxing services.
