Yeah, but it isn't cheap. I use maxEmail (www.maxemail.com) to send
faxes on the road. A minute fax is about 10 cents and it costs me
$14.95 a year for basic service.

If the number of users is greater than, say 5, you might try Black Ice
Software http://www.blackice.com/DigitalRiver/ec_MAIN.Entry10_1.html
for the Impact fax server. This sits on your home site and your road
warriors link to it.
