fax to internet website?

[tfinch]

Does anyone know a way to fax from a regular fax machine directly to a website? I see all the fax to website offers but it is only faxing from a PC. I want to set up something that people can fax to and have it go directly to a website either as a PDF or TIF file.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Regular fax machines can only connect to telephone numbers.
You could set up a PC with a fax program and telephone number and have the PC relay it to the web site.

I've played with a few programs that receive faxes. Most save as TIF, so you just have to make a simple program to look at the directory and make links. VSI-Fax is what we currently use (primarily for outgoing, although we did receive through it for a while.)

If you host the site yourself (DSL / T-1 / etc), you could very easily make it display real-time. Otherwise, you'll have to schedule FTP to the site, but that won't be too hard either.
