Fax Number
by Matt Gerchow
There are many times that it is necessary to send or receive faxes. In the past, the process involved getting a dedicated phone line and purchasing a special fax machine. This machine would scan a document, convert it to a digital signal and send it over the phone line to the recipient's fax machine. The second machine would convert the digital signal back to a paper document the was a duplicate of the original. Twenty-five years ago, the fax machine was cutting edge technology and businesses were scrambling to get fax machines and dedicated phone numbers.
A New Way To Fax
With the advent of the personal computer and internet, many businesses have done away with fax machines. Many businesses send documents by e-mail instead of using the fax machine. Even so, there are still times that a fax is required. Fortunately, it is still possible to send a fax using the computer. Computer users will find companies online that provide services needed that allow the sender to e-mail documents that are printed on the recipient's fax machine. In addition, these services allow the user to have their own fax number. When faxes are sent to the number, they are converted to an e-mail document.
