you can try efax.com which lets you fax over the internet without the need for a fax machine. You can also use there service to receive a fax.

No you have to use a phone line if you want to use your own fax machine.

** Actually i just found this article http://www.intel.com/network/csp/resour ... 631web.htm

It notes that they are working on bringing the fax world over to lan (using ip's etc)...

yeah and I think you will need to make sure the phone company knows you are going to be using it as a fax line also.

Maybe.. They probably wouldn't care, or notice for that matter if it was going to be a fax a month or so. Now if your going to be using it 10 times a day thats a different story :)
