FaxDigits, Free faxes and support for T.38 protocol


I came across this company fax digits, via Luca Filigheddu's site. I think fax digits is a very good idea, and liked what they do. Basically Efax in a VOIP world. In these days of paperless electronic offices, you will find at least one fax machine of digital fax service in any office. So some papers are still getting stacked somewhere.
All the IPPBX's and services are still struggling with T.38, FOIP, Fax over IP protocol and yet to find a reliable product.
What I liked about their products and services, first and foremost, at personal level you get a free fax service. One sends you a fax to an assigned number, and th fax appears in your email box as a PDF file.
The other services include comny faxes via an 800 number
From the faxdigits site, some information;
