- Of course one of the disadvantages is that you cannot scan in a document
- unless you have a dedicated fax machine or a scanner attached to your
- computer. This has proven to be an inconvenience for me occasionally.
-
- Also in order to receive a fax, you must always have your computer and
- the GPFax program running unless you are only expecting to get a fax at
- certain times. I subscribe to a newsletter by fax and I'm never quite
- sure when its coming, sometimes it arrives in the middle of the night and
- the system is not ready to receive it. Thats a bother!
-
- All in all, it is nice to fax direct from the computer. In an ideal
- world you should have both.
