Does anyone know of a solution to get a script to actually connect with the POTS system (even through a 3rd party provider) and send a fax? Mike There are several "fax over the internet" providers out there. I used to work for one.

That service was via email. You sent a email to a phone number by putting it into the destination email address (1555551212@sendfax.biz). The fax had to be attached as a postscript or html file. You would get a email back with the status of the fax. Most of these services could only send faxes from a specific email address that you registered and paid for. The free ones added a banner ad to the top of the fax. A quick search for "fax over the internet" http://www.savetz.com/fax/ This is an FAQ. It even mentions my old compay. http://www.tpc.int/faxbyemail.html http://www.easylink.com/home/0_0.cfm http://www.efax.com/index.html http://www.fax4free.com/home.asp
