Is there a way to run a fax machine over VoIP?

The telcos don't want to spend the money to keep the old copper phone lines working. You'll still be able to have a VoIP phone at home, but it'll be useless if you lose Internet. All the more reason to know how to get a message out via ham radio. š -j ________________________________ From: BVARC <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of AOL/ CompuServe Mail via BVARC <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Thursday, February 8, 2024 4:25 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>; [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Cc: AOL/ CompuServe Mail <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>; [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [BVARC] the phase out of landline phone service To all I have a land line and need to keep it since I have a captel phone for hard of hearing In a message dated 2/8/2024 2:38:27 PM Central Standard Time, [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> writes: Yeah, Iāve had a landline for years and I donāt plan on getting rid of it anytime soon but unfortunately they decide to pull it.
