I still can't figure out how to avoid Snail mail. Mine are in PDF for download to but you still need them to sign an agreement and mail it back. In turn, you sign it and "mail" them a copy. Most of my clients can't spell Fax much less own one. How are you making your PDFs? A couple years back I vaguely recall that it was discussed on VU that there is a better alternative to getting a fax machine. It has to do with ... you give them your "fax number" which is really a third party internet company. Then, this third party emails you the fax. At least I think that's how it went. The general advice was that you really are better off not getting in an actual fax machine these days.
I tried a free www.efax.com account for a while, but the free account required an out-of-town number (long distance). And when people sent me contracts via fax, I still had to print them out, sign them, then either scan them for faxing back, email, or snail mail a copy.
For the past couple of years I've just used a cheap Brother plain paper fax, which also makes a good copy machine, and second phone line (has handset), on a dedicated Vonage fax line with it's own number. That way you get all the benefits of an old fashioned fax, as crappy as they are (there's a reason the blasted things won't go away....they're simply convenient compared to screwing with trying to fake FAX on a computer).

Surely there are some freeware programs on cnet or somewhere that will do the same thing.
