Hi Damon,<BR>
<BR>
Yeah, I like the internet faxing / voice mail service. But I do usually send an email to confirm receipt...<BR>
<BR>
What I like about maxemail is that they act as a forwarder from phone/fax to email. When someone leaves me a message on my voicemail, it is digitized and sent to me by email. If someone sends me a FAX, it is forwarded to me by email (as a TIFF Fax formatted file, which programs like xv can read just fine -- TIFF supports the Fax encoding format, so I don't think the data is even decoded, it is just never printed out). I can also send outgoing faxes. Not long ago I got a fax from my grandfather because he doesn't understand email -- but I didn't tell him that his fax was delivered by email anyway, as that would have just confused him. :-)<BR>

It is great for traveling, because then I can just check my email and get everything in one go. I also use paperlesspobox.com which acts as a snail-Mail -> internet forwarder. Mail which is sent to my pobox gets scanned and sent as a PDF (well, actually I have to log in and download it - I configured it to only send notification when there is new mail).<BR>
<BR>
Of course those are US based phone numbers and addresses, so they are mostly useful for people in the US trying to contact you. I haven't had cause to search for NZ based services.<BR>
