HelloFax (YC W11): Sign And Send Faxes From Your Browser, Without The Hassle

Little misleading... it says "throw away your fax machine" but has no support for receiving faxes.

I'd love to use a service like this, even at $1.99 per fax, but without receive support (so sad that companies sign first and want to fax to you) it's no good to me....

That's coming very soon, I believe. I just nagged them to launch when they had a quantum of utility.

Are you using freeswitch to send & receive faxes? I've been using it for almost 6 months now and it feels much more robust than asterisk's system.

Hey, we're actually using Asterisk. Out of curiousity, what are you using your fax server for?

we use it to send & receive faxes because we don't want to buy a fax machine :-)

I have a small 50 line ruby script that converts attachments from emails into outgoing faxes, and a 10 line ruby script that converts incoming faxes into emails with a pdf attachment.

You should try freeswitch instead -- the rxfax thing from Asterisk would sometimes truncate incoming faxes. Not sure why.
