I see how they say you can receive faxes but not how to send them from there. Hmm – I must have missed the instructions for sending.

I triple checked the number, but it just disappeared and have no clue what happened. All I know for sure is that the recipient never received it. I saw the requirement for custom cover sheets to ensure routing to my box. I haven't tried that. I was hoping for an easy send solution along with everything else, but unless things have changed, this is not it. :) The rest looks intriguing and really easy to use. Just wish that some things had a little more explanation or support. Well, mine was an attempt to send. I triple checked the number, but it just disappeared and have no clue what happened.

I noticed they seem to need a specific cover sheet and that they caution that it may take a while. Maybe they use OCR on the cover sheet to route the fax to your area. I think the ability to leave any length MP3 is super cool. If someone were in need of transcription services you could just call and leave a number of recordings for your transcriber to download -- and I think with a little effort you can even have those items show up in RSS fees too.

Just a warning if anyone is planning to try that out. No status updates, either - just "send" and hope that it goes through. Would have been nice if it had worked.
