Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Ubuntu Fax Driver Search

I never was able to get Ubuntu to work with either my PCI fax cards or 
the ones built into my laptops.  I know that if you have a fax card 
working with its printer driver package, you can use it like a paper 
printer, except it asked for the fax numbers and such, then "prints" the 
document as a fax.  With that fax printing driver/software package 
installed, you could fax a web page or email printout to someone, buy 
why would you.  Any software package that allows you to choose your 
printers and have access to the fax options, can be faxed.

I gave up on my efforts for Ubuntu faxing and the newest printer I 
bought has a fax machine built into it.

Actually I once used eFax [the company] for sending and receiving of a 
few fax documents, but I rarely used it.  I sent 3 or 4 faxes in 2011 so 
far, to those companies that will not give out an email address for 
sending the documents via it.  SO faxing is no longer something most 
people need anymore.  Some businesses, yes, while others do not.
