            <p>While most people have heard of email, there are many 
            web users who have never heard of Internet or online fax. This is 
            the equivalent of sending faxes via the web rather than through the 
            old traditional facsimile machine in the office. <BR><BR>Like email, 
            web faxing is a relatively new phenomenon which simply means using 
            the Internet and your email system to send and receive your faxes. 
            In order to use online fax you have to sign up for an account with 
            an Internet fax service provider, who will supply you with a 
            Toll-Free or local fax number you can use. Your faxes are sent as 
            email attachment, usually in TIFF or PDF format. <BR><BR>Your online 
            fax service provider acts as your intermediary to handle and process 
            all your faxing. Keep in mind, with an Internet faxing account you 
            dont need an extra dedicated fax phone line because everything is 
            done via the web. However, you can still send faxes to and from the 
            old traditional fax machine, your online provider will act on your 
            behalf to process your faxes. <BR><BR>With an Internet fax service 
            you are generally given an online site (interface) where you can 
            log-on to send and receive your faxes. This web account will also 
            store your faxes so that they are available to you at all times. How 
            long and the amount of faxes you can store will depend upon which 
            service you choose, so it pays to do a little homework first before 
            you sign up to any one service. <BR><BR>These fax providers will 
            also have different monthly rates but the average cost is around $10 
            a month, but there are much cheaper quality services you can get, 
            especially if your faxing requirements are very minimum. Some 
            services are as low as $20 a year or you can also get a pay as you 
            go service. <BR><BR><B>Why are millions of individuals and companies 
            switching over to this new way of faxing?</B> <BR><BR>There are many 
            reasons: online faxing can be much cheaper especially when you 
            factor in the low start-up costs and the cost of a separate phone 
            line. Online fax is paperless so it is seen as more environmentally 
            friendlier than regular faxing. It also uses no inks, toners and 
            there are none of those messy annoying paper jams. No more missed 
            faxes because of busy signals. You can also send many faxes 
            simultaneously. Web faxing can also be much more secure than 
            traditional faxing since your faxes can be encrypted. Plus, all your 
            faxing is completely mobile, you can send and receive your faxes 
            anywhere, anytime - as long as you have Internet access and these 
            days thats just about everywhere on the planet. <BR><BR>This new way 
            of faxing is much more convenient since you can use laptops, PDAs, 
            cell phones... to send and receive your faxes. It is also extremely 
            easy to use, as simple as using email, anyone can do it. 
            Furthermore, online faxing is seen as the wave of the future, 
            connecting all your faxing with computers and the web. <BR><BR>Plus, 
            we must not forget about the whole concept of competitiveness when 
            speaking about online fax. If your business or company depends 
            heavily on timely faxes for bringing in sales, closing deals or 
            communicating with clients; then having a fax service thats 
            available 24/7, 365 days of the year (regardless of where youre 
            located) is a definite advantage to have in your corner. Sometimes 
            it may just be a matter of keeping up with your competition who 
            might already be using web faxing in their own businesses.
