Is there a way to setup simple faxing, as simple as emailing a document?. Also to multiple contacts at once and to predefined mailing lists.
Please let me know a good client / server.
Free / Opensource, preferred.
Thanks

The Asterisk open-source telephony server could do it, with some plugins. Or Hylafax, which appears to be quite popular too.
I've no experience with either solution, but both are open-source, free and well-known. You'll still need a modem to actually send and receive the faxes.
Other options are web services that provide fax2email and email2fax. Hundreds of those around, but none-free for obvious reasons.
saint : Does it work with a simple modem.John Gardeniers : +1 for HylaFAX, which is trivial to set up and works with any standard modem. Asterisk however would be just about the ultimate in overkill.saint : after trying to install hylafax, which is not much of a trouble. But getting modem to work on linux is a pain in the ass.From Martijn Heemels -
For a Fax Server you could use HylaFax, with a web interface like AvantFax, you could also use un the client side JHylaFAX that is an open source and platform independent client for HylaFAX.

Depending on your volume and users you may find it easier to just outsource it to a service such as myfax,efax, etc. They can do number porting in some situations and offer a lot of features that you may find helpful.
