Send a Fax from Java? I'm looking for a (hopefully free) way to send a Fax from a Java program. I think the easiest way would be to send an e-mail to some sort of service that processes it and faxes it the recipient. Any suggestions? Posted in Java at Dec 31 2003, 11:37:12 AM MST 7 Comments

I remember playing with something called RFax. They had a evaluation version that u could download without filling any forms.

Matt, Here is a link to RFax eval: http://www.java4less.com/java_fax.htm. There are also 3rd part fax providers, e.g: http://www.ozefax.com.au/email2fax.html. Lastly, there is an open source product called HylaFax. http://www.net-foundry.com/java/gnu/hylafax/. I have not used these, so I don't have any idea on their ease-of-use/availability.

I can recommend hylafax. We have used for a job for dot-com company. I didn't do the actual programming, I only installed it.

You can send an online fax using fax to email services but most will not be free. Forget fax modems you have too many hassles receiving faxes on your voice phone number.
