Moty,
I do not know of any better way for receiving faxes. Our new MOIP =
telephone system at work has an optional module not installed but which =
is supposed to be able to provide faxes and e-mail audibly for access by =
telephone. I am assuming it is similar technology to what we are already =
using but designed to work with telephone access but I don't know that =
for sure, I do know though that no matter what, a fax machine only sends =
rows of dots and it has to do that so it can send to another fax machine =
which can only receive and print rows of dots.
