[Novalug] OT: Free Fax service

[Igor Birman]

I have had an efax account since the last century.  Some years ago, you could send them an email to let them know that you use Linux and they would switch you over to Tiff format.  They did this for me and I still receive faxes in Tiff.  I have no idea if they still will do so.

The humor comes in when you analyze the bits of the file and see a header stating that it was generated by a Unix program on the server side.

No idea if this will work, but I am suppose to get faxes via email now,
for free. 

Thought I would share for the other froogle types out there.
