Would like software based solution to use computer with fax modem instead of all in one hardware so that I can avoid using paper completely - I fax outbound on my copy machine/network fax, but have no good way of receiving in digital format. Live in rural area - UPDOX is reasonable, but requires monthly fee, etc.
I think Paul and Lesley are reading your question in context of looking for a HARDWARE solution. I read your question in the context of your looking for a SOFTWARE solution. Is this correct?
It sounds like you already have the hardware to network fax. But you can't RECEIVE digital faxes? It sounds like there are one of two issues. Either your hardware is not capable of receiving digital faxes, or it IS capable but does not have the software program to interpret digital faxes.
The first option is most likely. But please tell us, does your hardware have the CAPABILITY to receive digital? Which device are you using? Can you post the model name and product number?
You mention UPDOX. I subscribe to UPDOX Pro version. I am wondering about the cost. I subscribed last year for only $30/year. Not a monthly fee, a YEARLY fee. I looked on their website and the price appears to be $90/year, still not very expensive.
Caution about UPDOX, this will not help if your hardware does not have the CAPACITY for digial receive. But let us see what you are using then I/we can help you determine if you need to buy a new network fax or not.
