How to send an internet fax
You start by attaching a document to a regular e-mail message. This can be a Microsoft Word file, a graphic, a drawing, or anything you want to fax.
Send your email just as you normally would, but you addresses the message to the recipient’s fax number at the fax service – (for example: 18881231234@howtofax.net).
Your recipient will receive the fax on their machine just as they normally would, and will never know that it was sent over the internet!
