I didn't look all the way thru this efax thing, but it looks to me like
you can only receive faxes, and that you get some sort of viewing program
which lets you view the faxes.  I  thus suspect that these faxes are not
converted to straight ASCII text for viewing.  Sounds like you'd have to
put these faxes thru your OCR software to have them read.  Me, I'd want
sned and receive capability of either images or text files,, the lack of
which makes this seem useless to me, but I suppose there is some potential
here if EFax would like to work with people who  are visually  impaired.
