Orders sent via computer to fax machine

[bartainer]

Hello All;

Here's one that will be very simple or very hard to answer.

I have a client that wants an online menu built for his web site! My client wants his customers to place orders via internet, and in return he'll have the orders ready at the desired time! Now for the kicker! he has no internet connection at his restaurant!

Can a form be built to send the information via computer to his fax machine? If so, please tell me how or point me to the tutorial!

At the moment, all my forms are PHP controlled.

To do this he is going to have to get a host on the internet, of course.

If you have a server with a fax modem connected to a phone line, you could use software on that machine to send your fax directly. For example, on linux you could use efax.

Alternately you could go with a third party service which will send the fax for you. The first one I found on google, myfax, has you send them an email of the fax to send. There are many others out there.
