So they're doing it just like anybody else would, nothing special and nothing rock-solid.
A person with a not-so-good high speed internet connection, who is able to push norma voice calls perfectly, would have just as much problems sending faxes via Vonage as a PAP2-NA connected to Asterisk and some Voice T1's. Vice versa, a person with a great internet connection should be able to push faxes just as reliably through our setup vs Vonage. We have a lot of our own remote agents in the field, and we've been giving them adapters so they can handle sales/service/support calls from home. Some of them require a fax machine for invoices or whatnot and we've been telling them to use their regular home line, and if it's long distance they have to go through a procedure to get reimbursement, we're trying to simplify their (and our) lives by using these converters. --- Lee Howard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Deon wrote: > > >My boss is insisting we support fax, and I keep telling him that Fax > over > >IP is very unreliable and not recommended and his immediate come-back > is > >"Vonage does it." and it's very hard to figure out how. > > > >I don't think Vonage does T.38, the Linksys/Sipura units they're using > >doesn't support T.38 to my knowledge. > > > >That means they have to be using G.711Ulaw to send faxes.
