VoIP adapter

I can't get my flipping fax to send out since I moved. I called the cable company that I have my connection through, and they are telling me it's because I have an analog fax, trying to send through a digital signal. I have never had this problem before, and have used in the past both cable modem, and DSL.

I was wondering if anyone could suggest an adapter that I could use between the fax, and phone line that would work?

Use one of the online eFax solutions.

Yeah, I know I can do that, but I have this damn machine sitting here, and I hate to see it collecting dust.

I've never gotten it to work.

I have found that just about everyone that asks for a FAX also will accept an email attachment though.

Here is a little info on why it won't work.

Thanks sweetie

It just really pisses me off though. I've had this thing, which is a print/copy/scan/fax machine for about 5 years, and have never had this problem before. I've had it on dial-up, DSL and cable in Ohio, and DSL in Louisiana. I went back to cable when I moved here because of the good price I got on the package (cable/internet/phone) $75 a month.

I'll put yet another call into tech support and ask about the T.38 Fax over IP Protocol from that article.

I still have a POTS line coming into my house for our alarm system although we don't have a phone plugged into it.

The other day I needed to fax something to a place that was still living in the stone age and didn't know how to email something to me so I plugged my multifunction printer into the line so that I could receive the fax but then when I went to fax it back I realized that I didn't have long distance on this line so couldn't fax it back. Ended up using Fax1.com service where you email your fax to them and they fax it out for you.

The POTS line will be gone in a few months as we are switching to a wireless alarm system so I guess I need to find a way for stone age people to send me a fax since all we have these days for phone service is two iPhones.

We use myfax all the time from the marketers so we don't have to scan the documents to have a digital record...we have them do a broadcast to our land fax and our myfax

Sending through myfax is simple too
