We are a small law office and have a fax machine and a local fax number. I would like to SEND faxes from our individual computers but keep the same phone number and have the incoming faxes go to the fax machine. Can that be done?

I currently receive my Internet via satellite (rural location). Do I need to keep my land line to send/receive faxes? Our local phone service is raking us over the coals. I pay $55 a month for the land line. Between my wife and I , we have three cell phones. I’m looking at ways to get away from our local phone service and still have fax service for my home business. Any suggestions?

I have a Lexmark X8350 fax machine, and managed to mess up its settings pretty well. How can I reset it to the factory defaults?
Thank you for the informative Internet fax services comparisons web site. I signed up for one then came to the realization that they — and also the rest I’ve checked so far — keep ownership of your 800 number! So if you ever decide to go elsewhere, or the company folds, you must start over with a different fax number. I find this unacceptable for any sort of business use. Do you know of any of the services which let you keep your toll-free number? This portability is standard when getting voice service and I believe required by law. Any info or comments?
I travel with my laptop quite a bit and typically have two problems when I’m on the road. First, not everywhere I go has wireless Internet access, so I need to be able to dial in with a modem to check my e-mail. Second, I sometimes need to send faxes while I’m out of town. A colleague recommended that I get a USB fax modem for my laptop. Is this the best solution?
With easy access to e-mail and instant messaging, it seems kind of surprising to me that fax machines remain as popular as they are, especially in offices. Why do you think this is?
I received a fax, and I know the phone number that it came from. I’d like to know the name of the person or company that sent it. Is there a reverse fax number directory that will give me that information?
