Efax is an application which deals with the sending and receiving of fax via a personal computer, a fax modem and a telephone line. This software is Open source or free of charge (General Public License), which was developed by Casas Communication Engineering in the early 90s. This software usually operates with a command line interface and lately there are newer version that uses GUI or the graphical user interface. This software bundled in other Linux distributions such as Mandriva, Red Hat, Debian, and many more. Since Efax runs in Unix like operating system, it has a version for BSD or Berkley Software Distribution and Apple's Mac OS X Darwin operating system. This software is only 94.47 KB in size so there will be no special hardware requirements just a modem.

Be careful not to rename the extension on .efx files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .efx. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
