Laura,

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. :)
