Here is what our experience with fax over VoIP tells us:
* Everyone knows that it is never 100% reliable over any VoIP
network, Vox or otherwise
* If you set your fax speed to 14.4 that will optimize the send and
receive quality (faxing is sensitive to speed more than protocol)
* Our experience is that you should expect 80% of faxes to work
properly on our network.
* Fax quality and consistency correlates directly with voice
quality, dependent on the VoIP network and how it's managed. You know that
not every VoIP network is created equal; some are much better than others.
I will leave you be the judge regarding our network and service quality.
* Sending may be slightly more reliable than receiving (I send
documents all the time and my experinece has been very good, 90% or better)
* Hi-speed 33.6 fax will not work over VoIP
* Newer fax machines provide better results than older units
* We do offer T.38 fax
* We have not integrated eFax capability with our services
This has been our experience with VoIP fax to this point; we have great
developers and will continue to look for a foolproof solution over time.
Because I work mostly out of my home I use eFax for inbound fax service
because of the nature of my business - contracts and other legal documents.
I hope this helps.

Hi Butch,
They do offer T.38 fax, I believe. But we have tested it and it only worked
one time out of 5. Whether they have E-fax capabilities I don't know.
Would love for a good fax solution to come around.

Is anyone using a white label efax solution? Does anyone have a box
that will let you do efax? Port local fax numbers?
John,
Have you spoken to your current VoIP provider regarding Fax over IP?
I don't know if they do that, but it seems to me I heard they do.
If so, perhaps they have a solution available that does eFax, too.
I'm just guessing wildly on that part, as I don't know for sure if
they do either one, but remembering a conversation I had with one of
their tech guys, it seems to me he said that fax works over their
current service (I haven't tested this at all).
