[WSBAPT] Fax Lines?

[Martin Silver]

I have switched to efax.  I email the faxed documents as a pdf to the recipient, who receives it as a fax.  They reply to my designated fax number (I had my longstanding number ported which took a few weeks during which time I had a temp number) with a 1 prefix and I get them as emails.  Aside from the slightly different number I have to give recipients they experience no difference.  At first I had a problem because I would do my own cover sheet but eFax would auto attach its own coversheet.  I found someone smart enough to give me a code to embed in my transmitting email which turns off their automatic cover sheet.  Given the small number of people still requiring fax, IRS and some semi literate clients in my case, it is a great solution.

Office Management Question: Have any of you solo or small office practitioners dropped your dedicated fax line and have any problems???  My local Sheriff’s department is the only one using my fax line for the past eight years on a consistent basis and they say they can just mail their stuff to me (which is not time-sensitive anyway).  

 

What say you?  Is this 20th Century technology I can safely drop?  Aren’t the courts allowing filing by email instead of by fax?
