voice over ip, voip providers,

Surely Someone Has Now Come Up With a Way to Send a Fax Using Windows XP, on Wireless Broadband?

April 30, 2009

I have VOIP (BT Softphone so can I configure the SM56 Motorola faxmodem to use that, instead of the port COM4, which doesnt even exist on my laptop's device list? My BT Homehub has a phone too which can make VOIP calls, could that be connected to my lappy in some way to act as the landline?

I am not interested in internet fax services as they all want card details, and that aint happening no way no how!

Yes, I know email is clearer and faster but some things simply must be sent by fax, like bank documents and sensitive info that you'd not want to send through an email server like legal papers.

I pay £1.00 per page in the shop to send them, and would happily do the same via a premium phone number on the web, so why hasn't someone plugged the obvious gap in the market, I ask myself.

Thanks,

Exasperated,
Northampton,
England

Without subscribing to a fax relay service you need to plug the machine's modem into a phone line. This can either be a standard line or the voip line from the BT hub.
