None of the people responding that had cable modems were able to do it. HOT technical support told me that it did not work due to the design of their network.
I looked this too - I have a SIP VoIP line over ADSL at home which works great for voice but all the research I did about sending regular faxes over it suggests that if it works for you then you are a very lucky man - it mostly depends on your FAX machine and the quality of your ADSL connection because the specifications just don't add up (the combination of the sound quality of VoIP and the requirements for a proper fax transmission). The "proper" way to do that is to use a T.38 gateway so your T.38 FAX machine actually sends IP packets with the data to the gateway which will then convert it back to POTS analogue signal for the other side. (I use an HP PSC2410 all-in-one for faxing). --Amos
