Sending a Fax on Broadband發送傳真就寬頻

Faxes, remember those?傳真，請記住這些呢？ When was the last time you sent one?當是您最後一次發出一？ Personally, I cannot even remember.我個人甚至不記得。 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 ％的人我工作和與此有高科技精明收到一個PDF ， JPG格式掃描一個文件或只是一個純文字電郵。 That is with the exception of one particular section of the government, which insisted on fax for “security and legal reasons”.這是與例外的一節，特別是政府，堅持對傳真的“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，便更加難以偽造的文件，他們要求如果他們真正的掃描比一個模糊的黑白黑灰的一份文件，這是共同與傳真機是最後一次我翻閱。 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?)麻煩的是，我對有線寬帶，我手邊沒有傳真機，我甚至不知道我的新ISH展覽會上的筆記型電腦，其實有一個老式的v.90調製解調器（記得當v.90似乎是就像有氧化亞氮在您的連接呢？ ）

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.無論如何，一個令人失望的拖網的淨所帶來的各種負面的反應的問題， “我可以傳送一份傳真，通過寬帶？ ”大部分受訪者似乎認為的性質， DSL和電纜連接排除使用傳真機，除非你是對銅線，並有權過濾器，和傳統的模擬調製解調器等等。

However, one particular forum came up with what I hoped would be the answer - Faxmail.然而，一個特別論壇，想出了什麼我希望將答案-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.但這種服務是長期的自走了，雖然該論壇聲稱，它工作在Windows XP下的寬帶無過濾器和沒有必要為一個模擬調製解調器。 TCP/Int was similar, I seem to recall.的TCP /詮釋類似，我似乎記得。

Then I found this page from然後我發現這個網頁從 Kevin Savetz凱文savetz , which seems to be recently updated and so might hold a clue. ，這似乎是最近更新，所以可能舉行的線索。 You have to pay for some of them, but others are entirely free for low-load accounts.你必須支付他們中的一些，但其他人是完全免費提供給低負荷帳戶。

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?當然，接下來的問題我應該問的是做我相信faxmail與我國政府的文件，但更要的一點，我該怎麼辦時，政府要傳真我回來呢？
