Who's on the other end? Various non-technical folks, insurance
companies, banks, businesses, governmental agencies, small business
operators who just want to conduct business, not wanting to get
technical and worry about who is faxing them. I currently have an
account with efax.com, paying $16.xx per month, plus $0.10 per page
for outgoing faxes.

I'd just like to find a less expensive solution than I currently have
with efax.com's offering. I see on the hylafax web site that if I am a
big corporation with a huge fax budget I can get an application that
will route faxes over the company pipeline to the internet, without
using any copper from the baby bells. I want the same thing in a
home/small business user format. Does such exist is all I want to
know? Or, is the current price I pay the bottom line for efax or
smartfax or whatever company to offer the fax routing service I
desire?
