I'm supporting a vertical niche app that sends faxes. (Yes, faxes.

I've gotten a lot of snarky comments from folks who can't believe in

the Third Age of the Internet that people still rely on faxes to do

business, but it is true: the recipients of orders are factories far

from modern internet hubs and faxes are still the best alternative,

even though error-prone and primitive. The system also supports

order-by-email and EDI. So, that out of the way,...)

MaxEmail has announced they have been bought by eFax, and account

costs are going up significantly. A $14.85/yr personal account will be

$84/yr. A larger account will go from $69.95/year to $19.95/mo, with

$0.10/page charges over 200 faxes. I'm still working out the cost

implications. Generally an additional $15/mo charge won't break the

backs of any client, but if there's another alternative available at a

reasonable price, it's incumbent on me to consider it.

I've checked the Wiki and the last Fax entry was dated 2008.

I've checked the leafe.com forums and mostly it's me recommended

Maxemail :). There's also send2fax, which I'm going to check out,

although it looks like the same company, rates are better. Hmmm.

Anyone else sending faxes? How are you doing it? And what kind of

costs are you incurring?
