How can I fax for free with Skype? Is it possible?

[Bill9494]

I am searching around for a way to send fax's for free over Skype and they all charge per page or per minute w/ Skype Out or their own billing system. What I want to do is send fax's peer to peer for free. Our company has to send paper for legal reasons and the fax charges are getting ridiculous...

Any advise?

Bill - We do not have the same exact issues but we use a nifty piece of HW/SW from www.netgencommunications.com or

YouTube - FaxIP for Skype " title="YouTube - FaxIP for Skype" target="_blank">YouTube - FaxIP for Skype

There is a small upfront cost for a 3rd party box from Eutectics and the SW but we can send as many fax's for free over Skype - completely free. Also, not to sound like a commercial for them but it's normal fax technology. You stick the page in, enter a speed dial and it's off...

I think it's cool when old technology is incorporated into cutting edge technology - especially when it's done right... Check them out and let me know what you think...

Thanks!

Charlie,

Thank you VERY much. This is exactly what we need and we just placed an order for 10 FaxIP units (our 10 different offices)...

Thank you again!!

Bill
