Open source IP to Fax software?

[Shawn O'Shea]

Faxing is an inherently telephone-line based endeavor. So somewhere along
the way you need something attached to the POTS (Plain Old Telephone
System).

There may be simpler ways on Linux, but the HylaFax server [1] has been a
long standing solution for this, but again, requires one or more modems and
a phone line.

At a previous employer, they worked around needing POTS, by paying for an
online service, and it seems eFax [2] is still pretty prevalent in this
space.

If this is a one-off, you can take docs to a Staples, FedEx Office or UPS
Store and they should be able to provide a fax method for you.
