Does anyone know of a freeware/reasonableware desktop FAX application? What do you recommend in the way of FAX->E-mail gateway? [sig][/sig]
 
There is a product I saw somewhere with the name of
MightyFax. Please check it out. You can try it for 30 days,
and then purchase it for less then $20 I believe.
It allows to xmit faxes from Word, etc.

Good luck!

If you are not afraid of Linux, you can do all of this without buying a solution, but you will have to do some custom coding for the fax->email gateway.

I've also used Ring Central, Procomm and Microsoft Fax as a Desktop fax application. Eventually I just wrote my own so that I could have something a little more lightweight.

There are some good fax servers out on the market now. Like RightFax, or SatisFAXtion or FAXCOM. Most will do the fax->email and email->fax functions that you are looking for. Or you can use efax or jfax to do it over the Internet.
