MyFAX Online Faxing Interface

MyFAX has just about the Best online faxing interfaces of any of hte Internet faxing services. It is very simple to use. It looks pretty much like most email clients in the market with quite a few bells and whistles to boot. Although the online faxing interface is packed with power MyFAX nicely hides the advanced feature so they don't get in the way of day to day faxing. This interface is great when you're on someone else's machine and need to get a fax or if you simply don't want to search through your emails for your faxes.
