Internet faxing
Unlike fax machines that use telephone lines, Internet faxing can send and
receive fax images over the Internet. The Internet fax service uses Internet e-
mail services to send and receive fax images. An Internet fax service trans-
mits scanned images as TIFF-F files attached to e-mail messages and sends
them to the desired Internet fax destination. The Internet fax service that re-
ceives the e-mail messages then prints the files when they are received.
