[Macpartners] [csail-related] How Do You Send A Fax?

[Micha Feigin]

Afaik mit does not have a central subscription. Some labs do, so you can ask your Admin. However, try checking you local copier. With at least two of the labs I've Benin affiliated with, the local scanner/copier also worked as a fax machine.
