This service enables you to compose an email which will be sent to someone's fax machine. This is accomplished by simply sending an email to an address in the following format:

• Microsoft Word Documents (.doc)
• Microsoft Excel spreadsheets (.xls)
• Microsoft PowerPoint Presentations (.ppt)
• Note Pad (.txt) or any Text Editor
• GIF Images (.gif)
• Tiff 3 Images (.tif / .tiff)
• JPEG Images (.jpg / jpeg)
• BMP Images (.bmp)
• PDF Documents (.pdf)
