Faxonline are currently running a Beta test of their online fax service.

Some of the features available:
- fax to email (5 email addresses)
- web interface to view, manage and download received faxes
- account summary
- real time, detailed usage reports
Note: The service is no longer free but there is an introductory offer - one dollar for your first month.

I've been using them for a little while now, ever since I was offered a trial "beta" account and I'm happy with their service. They seem to be continually adding features to their product, and as much as it's beta, I've not experienced any sort of disruptions. At least it's always been available every time I've needed to send a fax. I've already sent them a couple of suggestions and they added them to the product which shows they listen to their users. Looks like there's some knowledgeable people behind the scenes.
Give them a try.
hopeless, they've run out of numbers !!! currently are not accepting any new users. they aren't sure whether there'll be more numbers ever available !!!
I just signed up a few days ago and it works great!! You can not only have your faxes emailed to you, you can view your faxes online. So if I ever lose a fax I can just download it from their website.
$13.95 per month is a lot cheaper than an extra phone line not to mention how much more flexible this is than a piece of paper spat out of a fax machine! We'll see how it goes anyway. Just wanted to let people know my initial opinion!
We are pleased to announce an introductory offer for new customers.

We have used the service for 2 months. Have a few major problems.
1. No phone contact number.
2. They seldom respond to email queries.
3. Had problems with their website. Could not log on as a client.
4. Major issue with fax that was sent. A page of the fax sent was replaced by advertising material. Issue raised but no response.
