It is a service that lets you use a camera phone to send faxes. Actually, my wife who works from home uses it more than I do (for faxing) as she is in an industry that still relies on paper trails. If someone needs to ‘fax’ you something you still need to have an account set up with eFax (or another service) to receive.

They interface between banks and commerce constantly so they can’t afford even a single hack.

I e-mail and upload virtually all my proofs and graphics work… but I would try not to do that with banking information or anything that had private info.

Internet=Public Bathroom. You never know who’s watching

A SSL site for online banking is one thing, but there are too many doors between my e-mail box and the senders to guarantee anything other than a password protected pdf might be safe; and then of course you’d have to know the password. Of course this leads to the interesting question of how secure e-fax services really are …

I was talking to a company about setting up a payment gateway for an web site and they insisted on faxing me the information. I told them that I don’t have a fax line. They told me that they could fax it to my bank. I told them that was a good half hour drive away. I then suggested that they e-mail it. They said they couldn’t. I told them I’d get back to them (I didn’t).

This is supposed to be a company who’s bread and butter is web workers… and they’re insisting on using a fax machine? What?
