[Hidden-tech] Junk Faxes

[B. Kimo Lee]

Hi,

I too, have a local 413 number through efax.com. Haven't had any  
problem with junk faxes. I also send faxes through their system,  
which saves me lots of time because I can just queue them up and go  
on to other tasks. Like Will, I still have a fax machine in case I  
have to send something that's not already digitized, i.e., a hand  
drawn sketch or note.
I wonder if those experiencing junk fax problems have the word "fax"  
next to their fax phone number on their web sites? Seems like a phone  
number associated with the word fax on a web site would be good to  
harvest. I use a graphic of a small fax machine instead. Can't  
substantiate that since I've never had a problem, but that could be  
the reason.

Best,
Kimo
