Fax over cellular using the Internet

i find that with efax, i cannot open the document with anything but their
viewer. With Jfax, however, i can open with the Microsoft viewer. That's
my experience. I'm careful of the programs i install on my computer and I
want to keep applications to a minimum, therefore my interest in this issue.

k-7.net has a free e-fax type inbound number, but you can only get a
Washington State number.

Is that for the free version of eFax? I only have the free service,
and recent faxes have come in as .TIF files.
