Saves the pages electronically rather than printing them so the PC can download them when required. What we're doing just now is that we're receiving faxes from a number of sources and would like to forward some of them via email. I know there are places that can convert faxes and forward to email but wondered if I can get a fax machine that can do this. Don't want to leave the PC switched on 24hrs/day connected to the faxline unless I really need to.

Thanks

iTrader: (1)

US robotics (3 com) used to do a fax modem that could do that...also had a built in call routing system...just like the big gas/electric/phones/banks etc - handy if you don't fancy taking calls and just want to route callers in a big circle (hardly productive though).

It could store a fair number of faxes whilst the PC was offline - not sure if they still sell it though.

Alternative is a Multifunction machine (all in one printer-fax-copier) Some do have the facility to store faxes as opposed to printing. But many don't actually say this in the specs I'm afraid. i know our HP PSC950 won't do it....unless you take out the paper


edit: yes they do still make it ....http://www.usr-emea.com/products/p-d...92-ex&loc=unkg

Thanks Ali,

Like the call routing option Will look into this modem.

kevin, you can get faxes sent straight to email. free of charge, and with your unique phone number. alkl that happens is the sender pays a slightly highter cost to fax you (only slightly higher) to cover this service.
i will be using it myself soon.

do a search in the uk on google for , say "free fax to email"

if i find something, i'll let you know.
