efax as a portable app?

Hi guys,

I'm not much of a code genius like many of you, but I have an app that would be useful and it may even be easy to make it work.

There is a U3 version of the efax program available. Can this be converted to a portable app? There are also standard install versions as well. The service is free and offers you a fax number to receive faxes via email. You can print and convert the faxes to pdf format. To fax out, you need a scanner and a paid account (thats how they make money). Personally, I think its just nice to be able to receive faxes through my email.

The website is www.efax.com

Thanks!

I Agree

This would be a great app for portablization. Has anyone found a way to do this yet, or found an alternative way to view .efx files? Got a "new" computer (new to me, it was manufactured 6 years ago!) now I'm completely locked out of installing benign apps (used to be a machine administrator), and blocked access to the efax.com website (filtered it as online storage) and I can no longer view eFax faxes. Now I have to email the file to myself at home, view, "Save As," and then resend to myself at work...

comes as email?

I had a look at their site, but only programs they seem to offer today is app for smart phones.

Otherwise the fax does arrive as email attachment and can be viewed this way. There seem to be no program for windows computer needed to operate this system.
Alternately one can rceive and view the files directly in the web interface.

So what it is exactly you are looking for?
