For the case where no standard dial-tone telephone-line is available, does
there exist a good solution for receiving faxes over TCP/IP directly into a
software application ?

So ... someone with a physical fax machine dials a phone number, feeds the
physical pages into the fax, and it is the pages are received by my computer
as some type of software document.

One solution I can think of is a 3rd party service that accepts phone-line
communications and converts the raw fax stream into documents , such as PDFs
, and then sends the documents to the receipient.

And perhaps the receiving software application would need to be one with an
integrated scanning engine -- since similar technology would be needed to
convert the raw fax stream into document form ...

Their free service will send you faxes by email. If you
want to send faxes over the Internet, you pay.

When posting to multiple newsgroups, CROSSPOST! Do NOT multipost.

See also you other disconnected multipost in

Click to expand...

Multi-posts are individual posts to each group.
Cross-posts are a SINGLE post to multiple groups.

Even cross-posts are discouraged - in excess - but most readers will mark
such posts as being read in ALL groups when they are read in just one group.
 
Crossposts can also post the original question to two or
more groups and direct all answers and follow-up to a single
forum.

Just set the view menu on OE to all headers.
