First, the viewer is free, so the original promise of eFax is fulfilled. There are several advantages to this format. When Mac users indicate that they have downloaded the new Microviewer, they are switched over to the proprietary.
As I mentioned earlier, the TIFF-F format was used for non-Windows operating systems because applications that could view these files were fairly common.
EFAX MESSENGER FOR MAC
The eFax Microviewer changed the way the service was handled for Mac users. At Macworld New York, released the eFax Microviewer for the Mac. When I last assessed the state of service on the Mac side of things, I said “there must be a better way to do this.” Apparently, somebody was listening. To the best of my knowledge, GraphicsViewer is the next best pick, cost-wise, at $35. The most inexpensive TIFF-F viewer, TIFF-Sight, costs only $10 but has been pulled from distribution. Second, it was impossible to view TIFF-F files on a Mac without paying for software, thus defeating the whole idea of a free service. Whoever supplies your e-mail services, be it an ISP or an employer, can easily take a peak at what you are receiving. First, faxes sent via e-mail are subject to the same security issues as regular e-mail. While allowing Mac users receive their faxes as e-mail anywhere in the world, this approach did have some problems. Unlike most competitors, though, eFax let users of other operating systems use their service by distributing files in the TIFF-F format. Like most of the fax to e-mail services currently available, eFaxes’ proprietary software was available for Windows only. Requirements: System 7.0.1 or higher (System 7.5.3 or above recommended)
