TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Is there any particular reason you'd want to use "efax" in place of
the commonly accepted (and copyright-free) "fax"? The trendy e-prefix
refers to electronic, but I'm not aware of any kind of fax device or
technology that isn't electronic, so it seems redundant..kind of like
e-radio or e-television. :)
