Sending a Fax on Broadband发送传真就宽频

Faxes, remember those?传真，请记住这些呢？ When was the last time you sent one?当是您最后一次发出一？ Personally, I cannot even remember.我个人甚至不记得。 99.9% of the people I work with and for have the tech savvy to receive a PDF, a jpg scan of a document or just a plain text email. 99.9 ％的人我工作和与此有高科技精明收到一个PDF ， JPG格式扫描一个文件或只是一个纯文字电邮。 That is with the exception of one particular section of the government, which insisted on fax for “security and legal reasons”.这是与例外的一节，特别是政府，坚持对传真的“安全和法律上的理由” 。

Quite bizarre, it would be much harder to fake the documents they required if they were genuine scans than a blurry black and white smudge of a document that was common with fax machines the last time I looked.很奇怪，便更加难以伪造的文件，他们要求如果他们真正的扫描比一个模糊的黑白黑灰的一份文件，这是共同与传真机是最后一次我翻阅。 Trouble is, I’m on cable broadband, I don’t have a fax machine, and I’m not even sure my new-ish laptop actually has an old-fashioned v.90 modem (remember when v.90 seemed to be like having nitrous in your connection?)麻烦的是，我对有线宽带，我手边没有传真机，我甚至不知道我的新ISH展览会上的笔记型电脑，其实有一个老式的v.90调制解调器（记得当v.90似乎是就像有氧化亚氮在您的连接呢？ ）

Anyway, a disappointing trawl of the net brought up various negative responses to the question “Can I send a fax via broadband?” Most respondents seemed to think that the nature of DSL and cable connections precluded the use of a fax machine, unless you are on copper wires and have the right filter, and a conventional analog modem etc etc.无论如何，一个令人失望的拖网的净所带来的各种负面的反应的问题， “我可以传送一份传真，通过宽带？ ”大部分受访者似乎认为的性质， DSL和电缆连接排除使用传真机，除非你是对铜线，并有权过滤器，和传统的模拟调制解调器等等。

However, one particular forum came up with what I hoped would be the answer - Faxmail.然而，一个特别论坛，想出了什么我希望将答案-f axmail。 But that service is long since gone, although the forum claimed it worked under Windows XP on broadband without filters and no need for an analog modem.但这种服务是长期的自走了，虽然该论坛声称，它工作在Windows XP下的宽带无过滤器和没有必要为一个模拟调制解调器。 TCP/Int was similar, I seem to recall.的TCP /诠释类似，我似乎记得。

Then I found this page from然后我发现这个网页从 Kevin Savetz凯文savetz , which seems to be recently updated and so might hold a clue. ，这似乎是最近更新，所以可能举行的线索。 You have to pay for some of them, but others are entirely free for low-load accounts.你必须支付他们中的一些，但其他人是完全免费提供给低负荷帐户。

Of course, the next question I should be asking is do I trust Faxmail with my government documents, but more to the point what do I do when the government wants to fax me back?当然，接下来的问题我应该问的是做我相信faxmail与我国政府的文件，但更要的一点，我该怎么办时，政府要传真我回来呢？
