How do I go about sending fax in .NET? We have a fax server through which we need to fax documents to clients. Since we have a fax server, I don't imagine that I have to configure a fax modem on my machine, right? It would just go through the fax server?

Are there any good free (or cheap) Fax APIs out there? IN my research I've come across FAXCOMEXLib, FaxMan, and Windows Fax Service, but the documentation seems limited, so I am hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Depending on your budget, you may consider a fax to e-mail service instead. Many services have a .NET-compatible API, and reasonable rates.

This is likely to be considerably easier (and therefore, cheaper) than actually interacting with a fax server.
