eFax is a service offered by Information Technology which uses the campus fax server to convert faxes into PDF attachments and then deliver the fax via email to a designated email mailbox or network share. See example below:
There is an additional $5.00 per month charge associated with this service which covers the cost of the resources used on the eFax system, along with the current charge of the existing fax line ($5.00/monthly internal faxes only or $20.00/monthly for external faxes). A physical fax machine can be used in conjunction with the service to send faxes, but it is not necessary.
Once the service is setup, designated users will be able to send faxes by sending documents as attachments to [phone number]@fax.ouhsc.edu. Sent faxes will be billed to the fax number that subscribes to the eFax service at the standard telephone service rates.
