fax program?

[Catherine]

hi matt!
I was looking for ubuntu searches for online faxing and I found one here.
try 101fax.com. it's actually an online fax service where in all you need is
an internet connection and a computer (doesn't matter if it's ubuntu or
windows). 

I'm also asked to send faxes once in a while. After searching for all other
online fax services, i found 101fax. It's a pay-per-use service wherein you
don't need to have a monthly commitment. Though you'll have the option to
upgrade to monthly service, if you're really a heavy user. Check it out at
www.101fax.com
