How to test your fax machine when nobody has a fax machine

Recently I had to write a script that would connect to our VOIP provider and send a fax via their web form. The idea was to elminate the additional steps of logging into their system, navigating to the "Send a Fax" section then filling out the form and clicking send.  However once I had a script written I needed to test it.  Unfortunately nobody these days has a fax machine. Thankfully I found a website that helped me out.

Fax Toy saves the day

The website FaxToy.net allows you to send a fax to their number, then within minutes it will appear on the homepage.  Just send a fax to either 888-877-1655 ( toll free), or 503-200-1300.  Then wait a few minutes and it will appear in classic 1980s greyscale.  You can click it for a enlarged version of its pixelated glory.  

Great and Free way to test to make sure your fax machine is working
