Email-to-Fax Services?
I just received a call from a client who is helping out a client of theirs (I feel like the top of the food chain... or maybe the bottom). The third party is a car rental service, and they have an "online order page" that simply generates an email request. They'd like to move one step backward in the world and have that email generate a fax as well. (I hate to enable people who won't check their email regularly, but as long as I don't have to deal with it, I'll do the research.) We've set up a process to do exactly this for one of our partner companies -- an online form gets routed to both an email address and, through cf_fax, to a fax server. However, we've had some problems with this process, mostly due to the fact that we can't afford to monitor the fax server to detect its numerous failures. I'm hoping to recommend a service to them. I'm pretty sure I've seen services like this, but I was hoping for some feedback from others: Has anyone used a service like this? Preferrably not one of the free-fax-number services, but a company dedicated to providing high-quality email-to-fax service? Are there any CF service providers out there who would offer something like this as a customized service?

Re: Email-to-Fax Services?
www.efax.com!!! You can now send an email as a fax - like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] word/pdf/txt/ whole list of other file types as allowable attachments or juts plain text in the message body works fine too :-0 As long as the "from" address is a valid efax user - the fax gets sent... $.10 a page though. You may be able to get a better deal for volume - i dunno. The other email to fax server I liked was GFI Fax www.gfifax.com. Protofax is another you may want to look into.

Re: Email-to-Fax Services?
I plan on selling email-to-fax as a service for busy folks, for folks who want to provide quick service to customer inquires, and for folks who don't have or want a computer. Those I've mentioned it to really like the idea. Actually, given the state of modem connectivity (I still marvel at how many non-technical folks put up with modems), email-to-fax can be a great time-saver for many folks. I might go with Protofax to send the email/faxes out a modem, or with a commercial service. best, paul At 12:34 PM 5/8/00 -0700, you wrote: >(I hate to enable >people who won't check their email regularly, but as long as I don't have >to deal with it, I'll do the research.) -- Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.

I consider it a step forward for many ;-) Another step forward is the $50 Internet radio coming out this fall. best, paul At 12:34 PM 5/8/00 -0700, you wrote: >They'd like to move one step backward >in the world and have that email generate a fax as well. -- Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
