How do i convert their format to tiff or some other legible format?

I was told you can do so from their site but the login area is down.

I think you can specify at their site that you run an 'other' operating system and then they will send you the fax in .tif format.

Once you login, go to Preferences, Fax Options. You can select a file format of .efx, .tif, or .pdf.

Cool! One less reason to keep this stupid Windows 98 box under my desk!

Are you perhaps a 'Plus' member? I logged in, and I see no preferences. Only the 'Profile' which contains information about me. (name, phone no. etc)

Thats what I thought I have the free number only. What about a efx to tiff conversion program? CWSIV On Sat, 2004-05-08 at 12:39, James D. Ivey wrote:

Ah, yes. My apologies. I also have a "free" number. No such thing as "Preferences" for that one.

I poked around the help agent and saw something describing the above for Free and Plus accounts, but then dug around more in the help agent and I see that it's only available for Plus accounts.

Sorry I couldn't help more.

worst case we can with their help write something on the Programming list. I have only studied a little of the scripting languages likely we need a C program then someone else can write a front end and well be good to go. We need more of these free service people to stop treating Mosilla and OS in general as poor step children. CWSIV On Sun, 2004-05-09 at 10:27, James D. Ivey wrote:

I've googled for such a thing without any success. Hopefully, someone here will have some news.

I have a message to efax.com and it's being forwarded to the tech. department. I'll let you know what I learn.

How did you change it?   Last time I checked there was no link on site to make the translation unless you used the Plu$ service.

Long ago... (maybe a year), they either a) allowed you to tell them what operating system you were using, or b) what format you wanted, and I told them a) linux or b) tif Since that time, I haven't changed a thing. They switched to their proprietary format for awhile and now, I guess they have switched back. I didn't change a thing.
