I've used the eFax service for years under OS9 ( www.efax.com) Works beautifully � and free � but there appears to be no eFax messenger (the reader app) for OS X. You can open multi-page tiffs in Preview, but when you print them they come out reversed (and they print really slow)
Any other eFax users have a solution for this under OS X? You can run under Classic of course but it's a pain to have to load Classic just for one app.
Note this is not the Cocoa eFax product which is some kind of faxing program I believe - the eFax service forwards faxes to your email address as attachments - it's extremely useful.

I've been using tiff-sight to view/print my efaxes (check version tracker). It has worked GREAT with 10.1.5, but haven't tried it in Jag yet.

Of course, I can't find the link or information source right now, but during the last five days I came across either a magazine article or e-mail digest that said you can use Preview in Jaguar to view efax .tiff files. The new preview has a thumbnail pane for pages, and the author claimed that it could be used an an eFax viewing client. I don't have any eFax's on hand to try it out, so if someone else has Jaguar an and efax, give it a whirl and post back here with the results.

Like the first poster said, you can view them fine, but they print backwards.

Usually, I'm awake when I visit these forums, but I was clearly asleep when I missed that point in the original post.
