[OPLINTECH] Simple FAX Machines

We use this.  It works and gets a surprising amount of use.

Hi Tyra,

We are currently looking at FaxScan24 which is at no cost to the library and does not require a coin-box. You can go to their website but here some additional information I received from them recently:

The scan-to-email feature is a two step process where you follow the voice prompts at the kiosk, which enable the user to scan their documents into our service.  Then, the user would login to www.myfaxscan.com<http://www.myfaxscan.com> to locate their document via entering their payment card number they entered at the kiosk as well as their 10 digit phone number.  Once the document has been identified as the users, they can forward to any email.

Please be aware, it costs you nothing to have it in your library.  And, there is no staffing required because of the easy-to-follow voice instructions provided once the handset is lifted on our fax kiosk.  Also, it is an easy service for you to implement.  When you are ready to give us a try, just send back a signed agreement (attached), and decide which low-use analog phone line you will have our kiosk share (you do not need to provide a dedicated phone line).  Then, within 2-3 weeks we will ship you your choice of our table-top or floor-stand FaxScan24 kiosk.

If you go to http://www.fax24.us/locator/index.php  and enter your zip code, you can see some of our locations that may be near you.

If you'd like to "test drive" our service, please dial 888-271-5666 and follow the voice prompts.  When it asks you to enter your card number for payment, enter this prepaid fax card number:  998-300-010-535.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a FAX machine for public use?  No coin box, no credit cards, just a machine to use.
The only things we want to be able to do are:
1) block international calls, and
2) block incoming faxes.
That's it, but I've been unable to find any that say they'll do these things.

Thank you,
Tyra
