Yes! Internet faxes are as legal as faxes sent by a fax machine. This means that in most places Internet fax documents that are signed are enforceable  as legal documents. In an article from Law Technology Douglas Malan from the Connecticut Law Tribune states

The use of e-mail fax services, which turn paper-based faxes into e-mails routed by a traditional fax number, has eliminated Day's need for a traditional fax machine. Incoming faxes that normally would arrive on paper are transferred to e-mail as a PDF. Outgoing faxes leave as PDFs with electronic signatures and can arrive on another end as a traditional paper-based document through the recipient's fax machine.

The advantage of the e-mail fax, Day said, is the ability to choose numerous recipients at one time rather than sending separate faxes to each recipient, cutting down on time and eliminating the paper waste. (view it)
