Faxing as a Network Function

RelayFax integrates faxing into your computer network. It sends and receives facsimiles using personal computers and almost any email server—especially Mdaemon.

If your computer facsimile equipment connects to a network—and these days much of it does—you can send and receive faxes with all the convenience of email.

Instead of picking up your fax at a machine, it comes to your email inbox as a message from RelayFax.

In place of printing and faxing a document, you send it through RelayFax from your word processor, spreadsheet or almost any other application, including your scanner software. With RelayFax, multiple users can share fax equipment connected to LANs, WANs and even the Internet.

While your fax machine might be in Tokyo, you can access it from anywhere via RelayFax.

RelayFax makes faxing as easy as email.
