Last week, I needed to send a fax to someone. I don't have a fax machine, and I didn't have time to run downtown and pay $5 (!!!!) a page. Instead, I turned to the Web and found that there are PLENTY of sites on the Web that offer the ability to send a free fax online.

Don't have a fax machine handy? No problem. You can use the Web to send a free fax - and no, you don't have to have a fax machine or even find some spare change. Here are five sites that give you the ability to send a free fax online.
