Internet real-time faxing

Internet faxing circumvents expensive international telephone toll charges in transcontinental fax exchanges by using the Internet as an intermediary medium to transport fax messages between senders and recipients. To make Internet faxing as successful as traditional faxing, it is necessary to suppo...
