I have used both efax and another provider to RECEIVE faxes which then
appear in one's email. To send i used FaxNow [on windows] and efax-gtk
since using linux. The advantage of this is one doesn't have to
manually click to receive if one's PC is on at the time. I've found
this a very useful asset for 10 years as one can also receive while
sending. Only rarely do i receive a fax but it is useful when peole
don't know your email. I don't regard faxing as out of date.

eFax charge a high price for sending a fax via email and receive 20 a
month for free. So if your modem now works for send i'd recommend you
sign up for free receiving.
