Pagesender lets you fax or e-mail anything you can print. It also receives faxes using your fax modem, eFax, jConnect, EasyLink, or MaxEmail. You can drag and drop recipient names from most popular address books, including Address Book, Microsoft Entourage, and Outlook Express. The program works with most popular e-mail programs, including Outlook Express, Entourage, Eudora, and even Claris Emailer. Nice features include the ability to attach PDF documents to faxes, pause and resume while sending faxes, and automate fax and e-mail blasts using AppleScript.

The figure shows the Out folder and the Modem Preferences dialog box.

Why I like it: Pagesender makes it as easy as possible to send and receive faxes via your computer. (This application is a favorite of Mac tech guru Ernie Mariette.)
